I reached out to the incoming class of 2024 to answer some questions as they prepare for their first semester on campus at University of Hawaii at Manoa. I asked them a few questions about how they are feelings, who they are, and what their plans at our school will be. Here are the responses I got from Cindy Saldaña.

1. Who are you? Where are you from? Interests/hobbies? Just introduce yourself!

My name is Cindy Saldaña. I was born in Pasadena, California and moved to Victorville in June of 2011. I have 11 siblings, who are all blood related. I have always been interested in sports; I've done kickboxing, soccer, basketball, and cheer. I may not be good at all sports, but I try my best. I love to cheer and perform in theater.

2. Why did you pick University of Hawaii at Manoa?

I chose UHM because of the diversity and it can give me an opportunity to start anew in a new place. I have always wanted to go to Hawai'i and now, I'm happy to say that I'll be going to school there.

3. What is your major? Why'd you pick that as your major?

My major is Pre-nursing. I chose this major because I love to help people and I want to be able to help anyone no matter what race, religion, etc. I really care for others and want to make an impact.

4. What are you the most excited for?

I am most excited to be studying in Hawai'i because over in Victorville, it is pure desert and there's not really much to do. I want to be able to explore, and I know that at UHM I will have the opportunity to do that.

5. What are you the most nervous for?

I'm most nervous about being hundreds of miles away from my friends and family. I'm also scared that I won't make any friends because I don't like being alone, especially in a new place.

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.
