Beginners Guide: Being The New Girl
The Gear Page

Being the new girl (or guy) can be tough, especially for your senior year of high school. The way to work around the awkwardness and attempt to make friends (and sometimes failing) is not to admit defeat before even trying. Here are some steps to being the new girl.

1. Be nice to everyone. You do not know whose going to be your friends later on so be nice to everyone. Also the last thing you want is starting drama with someone in a brand new environment.

2. Smile a lot. No one has any idea who you are and the last thing you want is your resting face looking like you're about to kill and cut anyone who even thinks of talking about you.

3. Get out. Do stuff! I know you're probably sad about moving, but go out with whoever you know. You got one? maybe two friends? Who cares! That is perfect! Go out and do fun stuff with them. Explore your new home!

4. Hold onto past relationships, but not the past itself. You are in a new home now with new people, accept that. You can call and text your friends back in your old home, really you should! However, you need to get out there and make new friends too because as great as your friends are back at home you need face to face contact and you need people to do stuff with instead of being stuck in your room all day.

5. Be yourself. If you're weird. Be weird. Be whoever you are because really you get to start brand new and if people do not like you for who you are, then it is completely their loss, not yours.

Being the new girl sucks, but you have to make the best of it because what else is there to do but mope around (it won't get you anywhere). So chin up and go out there and make some friends.

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

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.
