Here's to 2017! The good, the best, and the greatest, because I won't settle for anything less!!! 2016 is over! Finally! This year took a lot out of me. First off, when Debbie Reynolds passed at the end of the year my heart stopped. Halloweentown is my all-time favorite movie ever! I'll miss you, Grandma Aggie! Fly high sweet girl.

Alright, now that I've gotten that off my chest, 2016 really was an odd year for me but I'm excited for what 2017 has to offer! So here's are my top 5 tips for the best 2017 POSSIBLE:

1. Follow Christ

I promise It'll be the best thing you ever did! There's something about having a hope that is an anchor for your soul! He can be the anchor for your soul, if you let Him. Try Him!

2. Be Happy

You determine your own happiness. Don't let anyone control what makes you happy and don't put your happiness onto another human being! Being happy is your responsibility and it's ultimately in your hands.

3. Enjoy Life

It's alright to have the perfect grades, the amazing job, and the nice stuff, but one day it all fades away. Therefore, enjoy your family, friends, etc. Enjoy the things in your life that will make you happy when that "stuff" is gone.

4. BE YOURSELF

God made you just the way you are and He loves you. If no one else loves you then they don't matter. God picked the perfect person for you! Do what you love and forget the rest! Don't change for anyone. If they really cared about you they would love you just the way you are!

5. DANCE IT OUT

You made it through 2016!!! With everything that tried to stop you, kill you, and steal your joy, it didn't!! God laid His hands on your life! So dance! Every time you win a small battle or a big war... DANCE, because you have the power to celebrate!

Now that I have listed out my favorite tips for this new year, remember that 2017 can only be what you make it! That being said, as 2017 begins, make sure to always:

Stay focused

Stay loved

Laugh more

Smile more

Do more of what you love

And last but not least, never stop giving God the praise!

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.
