Follow Your Dreams And You'll Go Far

Follow Your Dreams And You'll Go Far

There is no set "life" that we all have to follow. That is the beauty of life itself. We have the power to make our life the best it can be.

So GO FOR IT! Whatever your dreams are, go for it. Whatever your wants and needs are, go get them. The only person that can stop you is yourself.

Of course, there are going to be times where you doubt who you are, what you want, and what will happen if things do not end up the way you wish. Well I have had those thoughts and still do, but in the end, ask yourself, would you rather sit there and always wonder what could be?

If you want to graduate college, strive to do your best in classes. If you want to be a famous singer then go sing. If you want to be a lawyer, then go work your butt off and become a lawyer. If you want to become a doctor, then grab those MCAT test prep books and start studying. Nothing can stop you but yourself. Money, time, people, etc. will try to stop you, but only you can let those things bring you to a halt.

My message to all of you is GO FOR IT! Try. Do your best. Who knows your dreams could come true. But there are a few things to remember. One, always have a backup plan. This way you are prepared and have a fall back in case you changed your mind or things do not work out. and two, always make sure you are happy. Happiness is what should drive you. Do not let money be the main factor of your goals. Money can bring a lot into your life, but in the end, money runs out of things only happiness and life can give you.

Stay humble and focused. Look into the mirror and tell yourself every day that " I will be a doctor and make a difference one life at a time." or "I will be a lawyer.", or even having a goal and telling yourself "Everything is going to be alright and I will be happy."

You have the power to create your own life. So... GO FOR IT!

From a girl who is going for it herself. Good luck and stay focused.

Stay True,

Montana Joleen

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.
