If I Dream Of Anything In The World I Would

Travel on a tour of the country in an old fashioned VW bus with my best friends in the world, going to every music festival there ever was.

If I Dream Of Anything In The World I Would
Veronica Connly

This is my dream and I hope to make it happen one day. Although I dream of many other things. Things that are perhaps less "dream-like". I dream of change and development growth and a continued zest for life that I believe I obtain.

I have a passion for experiences. I have a zest for life that I never want to lose. I truly believe life is way too short to not follow your blood pumping, skin crawling, good bump causing dreams. So what is a dream? Yes, I know they are so cliche. Some dream of becoming professional athletes while other dreams of lives where they were 100% authentically themselves.

I dream of lots of things. I dream of growth for myself and for challenges. I dream of experiences that challenge every joint in my body yet I grow. I continue to grow and become the version of myself that I can achieve. I want to continue to see the world differently and encourage my desire to learn and challenge the way I look at everyday tasks.

I would love to have a lime green VW bus, like from the '70s. OMG. That is my dream. Haha, sometimes I believe that I was born in the wrong generation. We would go to every music festival that has ever happened since 1969's Woodstock. I would be able to see all of my favorite bands and singers.

I could jam with Kurt Cobain in "Nirvana", sing with John Phillips from "the Mamas and Papas", dance alongside Daniel Ceaser, be in a moshpit at "BROCKHAMPTON", rediscovering myself each step of the way. One thing I would do is ask for one piece of advice. I would ask Amy Winehouse how in the world she could sing "Valerie" with such talent.

I would want to know the ins and outs of life and music. Two utterly amazing things that have helped shaped me to become the person I am. I would drink coffee alongside them and just enjoy life. I would take notes and take in every moment of this experience. I would hope to learn something from such amazing talents in the industry.

Music festivals are perhaps my favorite events in the world. Amazing outfits paired with extraordinaire music and vegan food trucks. I mean what is better than listening to Jack White while eating a fried avocado. Nothing, really. I feel most authentically me and hope to continue to feel that throughout my life.

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.
