In This Article:

Since I was five years old, I have been learning.

I have been spending my life in school to prepare me for a career that will give me innovative challenges that I can't wait to tackle.

I have been dreaming of the day that I go to my office smiling and don't mind that I have a lot of work to do. In fact, I'll be excited to get started. And after each day, my dogs will welcome me home with licks and snuggles. I'll finally have the time to care of myself by exercising and eating healthy. That's my dream.

I want to be able to live my dream.

Many adults I know regret not working or taking more time for themselves after college. I don't want to live with the same regrets. After I graduate, I want to begin a job that makes me feel confident that I chose the right career path. I also want to have "me time". It will be essential that I can check in with myself and see if I am happy with my life. If not, I can make changes easily, because I will only have to worry about me.

I want my future to revolve around my successes. College is such a difficult place and time to attempt to get your life together. Graduation will be a new start for me.

I'll be able to get enough sleep, work out before driving to the office, then using my knowledge to work on amazing projects.

Once I'm comfortable with all I have achieved, then I'll reevaluate my focus for the future. Until then, I can't wait to get started.

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.
