7 Things I'm Going To Do Before I Die
Gary Dee and Ann W.

1. Go skydiving.

Okay, so I know this one is uber cliche but it really has been something I have always wanted to do from the moment even knew what skydiving was. Heights are a huge fear of mine and although I have gotten much better about facing it I think skydiving would be the ultimate way of saying I conquered my fear.

2. Go scuba diving in Mexico.

The summer before last I was able to go to Mexico where we went on a snorkeling excursion and nothing will ever compare to all of the bright colored creatures I saw. The only thing that would top that would be getting to go scuba diving so I can get even closer!

3. Get my PhD in Social Work.

I didn't grow up in the best environment and it is because of this that I want to help children growing up in similar or even worse situations. Getting my PhD in social work would create so many paths for me to do this!

4. Own a beagle.

Need I say more? Beagles are just so damn cute and, other than that, I really don't have any specific reason as to why I want I beagle someday. I just do!

5. Have a girl best friend.

For as long as I can remember I have always gotten along way better with guys than girls. In my experiences, I have just found that guys are so much nicer and not as judgmental and so I my best friend has always ended up being a guy. I really am trying to branch out and find a girl best friend though, for once. It's just so hard!

6. Learn to paint well.

I am so envious of those people who can so effortlessly paint something in an hour and it looks like it took them three weeks! I want to be this good, and I know that I can be. It's just a matter of whether or not I actually decide to set my mind to it or not...

7. Fall in love and actually mean it.

I really hope that I'm not jinxing this but I think I just might have done this. I can't be sure though so I'm still putting this here because, yes, I was that girl who was already planning out her dream guy at six years old and I think I may have found him but I don't really know. Ugh, things are so complicated.

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.
