7 Things I Will Do In 2017
armstrongeconomics.com

As we begin a new year, I find myself thinking more and more about the year to come. 2017 will be a year of firsts and lasts for me, as I leave high school and embark on the journey of a lifetime to college. During 2017, I will:

1. Turn 18

Eighteen is the age of legal adulthood. Along with buying lottery tickets, signing paperwork for myself, and getting into anywhere 18 and older, it signifies the end of my childhood and the beginning of an era of making my own decisions.

2. Graduate from High School

Twelve years of early mornings and late nights will finally cumulate in receiving my diploma and leaving high school forever.

3. Start College

During the Fall of 2017, I will embark on the newest adventure in my life: college. I will have the opportunity to learn what I am interested in and live with classmates my age.

4. Move Across the Country from my Family

Along with college comes the daunting task of moving from the city I know and love to a completely new state. Not only will I be hours away from my family but I will also be in a different time-zone and completely new culture.

5. Experience my First College Classes

I will be in my first large lecture and my first writing class. I will have to learn how to study on my own and what to expect on exams.

6. Make New Friends

When I graduate high school, I will have to say goodbye to most of my friends from home and make new friends in college. For the first time, I will become friends with people from severely different states and backgrounds than me.

7. Have an Amazing Year

2017 will be my best year yet. It will be the end of one chapter of my life and the beginning of a new one. I cannot wait to experience everything this year has to offer.

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.
