America, It's Time To Come Together And Believe

Were you in support of #ImWithHer or were you ready to "Make America Great Again?" Are you relieved of our President-elect? Are you scared of our President-elect? Either way, we, and when I say we I refer to America as a whole, have your back.

In the first election I decided to pay attention to, I learned so much about this country: the people in it and the people running for President of the United States. I learned how important our opinions are, how important it is to accept other people's opinions, and how important it is to be open to new and foreign ideas.

I was never a Trump supporter, in fact, I woke up on November 9, 2016, with a stomachache and that was before I found out he won the election. Every debate I cringed, I felt embarrassed for him and his beliefs, I couldn't take him seriously. His voice, his gestures, and him in entirety went right through me. Never in a million years have I thought that Donald Trump would be the President of the United States. Keep in mind that I wasn't a huge fan of Hilary either. I felt the way she presented herself and the way she spoke to America was much more graceful and meaningful.

Now, Donald Trump is and will be our President. My feelings have not changed, I am not a supporter of Trump, but I do and will continue to have an open mind. There is nothing that I personally can do about this. We proud Americans, brothers, and sisters, neighbors, and coworkers need to come together. We need to give Donald Trump a chance. A chance to prove to us he's more than that man that stood in front of us for the past three months yelling and being demanding.

Donald Trump is, believe it or not, a human being. He may be different than most of us, but he does have the right to his opinion and his beliefs.

I wrote this article truly to voice my opinions to those anxious, hopeless, angry, and scared to watch America be Made Great Again. As a woman, I'm right there with you. The unknown is feared, but it should also be looked positively upon.

I truly believe Donald Trump will surprise us, I truly hope Donald Trump surprises us.

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.

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.
