Adventure Is Out There
Sierra Abbott

Adventure is out there...you have probably heard that one before. Many of you may hear that and think it's just a cliché, but I promise you that it is a very true statement. Adventure really is out there, but you have to step out and leave your comfort zone to find it. You'll never know what is out there in the world if you don't go out and discover it.

Our generation is constantly being looked down upon just because most of us have a severe case of wanderlust. Why is that such a bad thing? A majority of people from the older generations think that we need to hurry up, settle down and start a family just like they did. There is nothing wrong with people who want to settle down at an early age, but it's just not for everyone.

I'm here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with wanting to travel the world and explore before you settle down. There are numerous benefits to exploring the world and discovering new things at an early age.

You learn more about yourself.

When you travel the world, you learn more about yourself. It really makes you grow as a person when you experience new things and put yourself in different situations. It can build your confidence and it makes you stop and reflect on your life.

It teaches you more about others.

When you travel the world, you learn more about other people. Traveling exposes you to a variety of different cultures and people. It opens your mind to be more excepting of people who aren't necessarily just like you. It is incredibly important to be respectful of other peoples' cultures and customs. It really makes the world a better place when you are more accepting of people who might be different from your own culture.

You gain life experience.

When you travel the world, you gain life experience. You will learn new things and grow your mind. You will try new things and see new things that some people in the world have never even experienced.

You will discover that there is more to life.

When you leave home and travel the world, you will discover that there is more to life. There is so much out there in the world than the town that you live in. It really is an incredible feeling to realize that there is literally so much more to life than you can even comprehend. When you see the ocean for the first time, climb to the top of a mountain, or hike through the jungle it is impossible to not be in complete awe of this amazing world that we live in.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.

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.
