5 Ways To Jump Into The New Year

1. Don't Look Back

The past is the past for a reason. 2017 is in the rearview mirror now, it's time for us all to start fresh.

2. Have A Fun New Years Eve

Go to a party, get drunk, eat a bunch, dance a lot, spend time with friends and family, then get ready to kiss 2017 goodbye. But remember to know your transportation before you get all wobbly. Be safe out there, it's not only you out and about, there are others to think about as well!

3. Make The People You Want In Your Life Known

Shoot everyone a text, or give them all call if you're not with them and wish them a Happy New Year! Let them know you want them to either stay in your life or be apart of your life in 2018.

4. Take Out The Trash

Get all those toxic people out of your life for this new year. Yeah, the ones you know are bad for you but you still keep them around. Along with all that crap food we know we shouldn't be eating, try something healthy or just different for a change. Get rid of all those bad habits you have, and adopt some habits that are going to prolong your life. For example, instead of being a couch potato, take the dog for a walk, join yoga, focus a little less on others and maybe a little more on yourself. Think about mindfulness, embrace your mind, body, and spirit, and strengthen them.

5. Take The Fear Out Of Your Life

Don't be afraid to try new things this year, like something you have always wanted to do. Meet new people, or talk to that one person you have always wanted to get to know better. Don't be afraid of change, change is good and sometimes for the better. It's no fun being scared all the time. Go cliff jumping, take a road trip, quit your job. Do something for you, it could be something that you should have done a long time ago. Don't have fear everything happens for a reason take a risk for you

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
