Some days I feel on top of the world and some I feel like I am carrying it on my shoulders. These are some things tasks that I do each day to start it off on the right foot :)

1. Wake up early

I know how much of a struggle this can be, especially on those 8 AM mornings. But trust me, this is so beneficial. When you wake up early, concentration and productivity increase. This means that snoozing to get some extra Z's might not help you in the long run.

With extra time in the morning, you can make a cup of coffee or workout without feeling rushed. When I wake up early, I feel better about the approaching day and it helps me get prepared for my day full of classes.

2. Wash your face

This is the best thing to do in the morning. Your pillowcase holds a lot of germs and dead skin, so this helps wash it away. For those with oily skin, it helps prevent excess oil production. Plus, it wakes you up even more!

3. Plan out your day/week

In the mornings, I write down all the tasks that need to be completed within the day or even the whole week. When I am really feeling overwhelmed, I like to write a detailed plan of my day, including blocks of time when I am doing something. This helps me digest the incoming day and helps me schedule blocks so that I am not so swamped.

4. Wear a cute outfit

A girl with a bomb outfit can seize the day. When I really want to feel my best, I make sure I look my best. This includes a super cute outfit and *slight* makeup for me. When I take time and don't rush to get ready in the morning, it really makes my self confidence rise.

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.
