Graduation. A word that is both equally exciting and frightening, but every school has college students who experience it every year at some point. And with every graduate, worries rise and thoughts rise about life. Here's a list of thoughts that everyone has after graduating from college.

1. What am I gonna do now?

I don't know? Get a job? Move in with my parents? Become a beach bum? The world may never know.

2. Are there any jobs in my major?

B***h, where? Where they at?! I should have just become a doctor, everyone needs a doctor.

3. So...I have to start eating healthy?

When you graduate you realize your metabolism is probably slowing down and you probably need to get off of the college diet...but do I HAVE to? Nah, I have at least two more years. Maybe.

4. Why does my family keep telling me to have children?

Look, I just got out of school. I'm still not even responsible enough to make a proper breakfast for myself, or feed myself in general. How would I take care of another human being? And why would I want to stop drinking for 9 months?

5. WHEN CAN I GO BACK TO SCHOOL?!

The grown-up life is not what it is all cracked up to be. School was a beautiful lie, a beautiful, short, lie that ended way too early.

Enjoy college, enjoy your friends, and ENJOY your freedom.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
