All My Friends Are Getting Married

I never thought I would get to this grown-up stage, where it's a trend to get married and engaged.

It's my senior year of college and I have many friends who are in that same boat with me or who have graduated recently. This is the age of exciting things such as graduation, starting "real life" and all things that come with that, which means this is around the age that people start getting engaged and married. I have two friends who have gotten engaged and married in the last year and this is how I feel about it.

It's weird to finally be at that age where its normal and okay to be getting engaged and married because up until this year I always found it so weird that my Facebook timeline was filled with posts about people I know who were getting engaged and married. I kept thinking to myself that I was so young and it was so early of an age for people to be getting engaged and married. But I've come to realize that I am at that point in life where it is suddenly acceptable and exciting.

How do I feel about having two of my best friends married? It's weird because then the sleepovers stop, and they are moving on with their lives so quickly but it's also such an exciting time in their lives that I am nothing but happy for them. The weirder part is to think that soon enough it will be me in their position.

I love having friends who are getting engaged or married because then it means I get to be apart of their special day. Being a bridesmaid for one of my best friend's wedding means so much to me and it is so fun to be apart of the party and big day. A day she will never forget and a day I get to help make as special as I can.

I feel like I never thought I would get to this grown up age where it was a trend to be getting married and engaged. It's one of those weird things where you feel like you're still so young until your best friends start getting married and you realize that you're not a kid anymore.

I'm so excited for even more of my friends to get engaged and be married and soon enough me so I can have them all join in on my special day, like they had me in theirs. Though it was weird at first and even crazy that all this seemed to be happening so soon and to so many people, I've come to terms that this is our twenties and some of the best years of our lives!

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.
