1. Be Happy

One of my goals for every year is definitely to be happy. Of course, things will happen here and there, but my overall goal is to always be happy no matter what I am going through. Staying positive is a good way to help me stay happy and in good spirits. Also surrounding yourself with people that make you feel like sunshine is another great way to stay happy during this new year.

2. Get Amazing Grades

HAVING SUBSTANTIAL GRADES IS A BIG ONE FOR ME. This past semester I did great, but I want to keep going. Spring of 2019 I plan on being at club lib 24/7. When I check to see on canvas what the status of my grades are and they are good then it is a weight lifted off my shoulder.

3. Live A Little

When I say "live a little" I mean it in doses, not some craziness. I want to try new things and go to places I have not been to before. If I'm doing good in classes and my friend wants to go out or travel for the weekend, I'll say yes. That is what I mean when I say to live a little.

4. Get Involved

This past semester I was not as involved as I typically would be, but this new year I plan to change that. I am the type of person that always likes to keep busy because if not I will just be sitting in my house bored to death. I always like having something to do because it keeps me calm, to be honest. This year I want to be busy with getting involved and giving back to my community.

5. Stress Less

I tend to stress about small things that will not matter in a couple weeks from now and I want to stop doing that. When it comes to school obviously I will stress just because I want to keep doing well, but when it comes to life, in general, I will stop stressing as much and not caring.

6. Let Go

Letting go goes hand in hand with stressing less. When I say let go I mean not really giving a shit about what people think or have to say. If I want to do something and it makes me happy then who cares about the rest of the baggage that comes with it.

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.

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.
