Eight Things To Look Forward To In 2016

Pixar

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of Facebook's New Year’s resolution announcements. They can start to make you feel like you need to buy a gym membership, donate to the ASPCA and get engaged. I try to not make a resolution because they never last more than a few weeks, I’d rather just put an effort into bettering myself on a daily basis without a goal in mind. If you’re like me and want to get away from all of the resolutions, here are some good things that you can look forward to in 2016 that don’t require you to stop eating cake:

"Finding Dory" - June 16th, 2016

Don’t act like you aren’t excited for this sequel.

2. A new president - November 8th, 2016

Okay, to be honest, this one gives me a little bit of anxiety. But if all goes well, I hope an elderly white guy will be sitting in the oval office by the end of 2016.

3. Tours, tours and more tours

We all saw the insanity of people trying to buy Adele tickets a couple of weeks ago but there’s still plenty of time to get one on stubhub. (Or if you’re like me, to Justin Bieber’s Purpose tour).

4. "Orange Is The New Black" Season 4 - June

Word is that Ruby Rose is going to have an even bigger role next season (as if you needed any more reasons to watch).

5. The new iPhone - Rumored sometime between June-September

Apparently it isn’t going to have a headphone jack or home button. All I can hope for is new emojis.

6. "Girls" Season 5 - February 21st

I know Lena Dunham isn’t for everyone, but she’s everything for me.

7. The Olympics - August 5th

Let’s be honest, most of us only watch the opening ceremony (right?) I don’t know if Rio can compare to the Spice Girls reunion but they can try.

8. Beyonce’s Streetwear Line With Topshop CEO

There isn’t much to be said about this besides that it’s happening and there’s a 99% chance I’ll want all of it.

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

316538

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
