Here Is To You And Me

Dear world,

I have spent a large portion of my life waiting and dreaming about future of no more school where I get to work and feel like I have begun my life. Granted it is not that I do not enjoy school, because I do like it but I am ready to move on with my life and start in the life I've dreamed about since as far back as I can remember.

Here I am tonight writing to all those other seniors out there who are ready to start their lives too. So let me start again...

Dear Seniors,

Here we are. In our last first semester of our undergraduate degree, a time where most of us want to give up, throw in the towel and just veg out. This could also be a time where we are all hitting the ground running, sprinting towards a finish line that is not coming for a couple more laps.

I am both of those people so I understand if you are one or the other, I am here for you. We are community of people, of leaders and scholars who are about to embark on a journey no one could really prepare us for.

For those of us who are vegging out, my advice for you is to not forget that this is our last marathon run there is no sense in walking, and for those who hit the ground running and are drowning, gasping for air, do not forget that it is okay to slow down sometimes, try going out with your friends, or binge on the new Netflix series everyone is talking about.

There is a happy median and we all need to find it, it's how we prevent burning out and wanting to give up all together. Find the motivation to go to class even if that motivation is there is a cute boy in class and he "might" be there. Even if that motivation is a bubble bath with candles, tea and good book. Find your middle ground, find your happy median where you know you have to get stuff done but it can wait until the episode of Grey's Anatomy is over.

Seniors, do not forget the importance of enjoying your time left that you have in college, but also do not forget the importance of turning in all you assignments in on time and asking for help if you need it.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Hope We All Get Job Straight Out Of College

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.
