High School Graduation, As Told By 'Mean Girls'
Jennifer Fox

High school graduation by far one of the most bittersweet events that one will have to endure. You have made it though countless hours of studying and preparing for exams and now is the time where all that hard work pays off. Your name gets called and it is time to walk to receive your diploma. High school graduation is filled with a whole range out emotions.

Saying your final goodbyes to the people you have known since Kindergarten:

Having your entire grade go crazy when the final bell rings:

Saying goodbye to all the people you will (probably) never see again:
Talking to your crush at a grad party and making a complete fool of yourself:

Realizing that you have a clean slate in college and you can basically start over:


Going crazy when the final bell rings:

When you walk up and receive your diploma:

Posing for all the pictures with your diploma:

Raise your hand if you are in serious need of summer vacation:


Now is the time to celebrate with family and friends after going through these past four crazy years. The moment you step up and receive your diploma will feel unreal as you begin to look back on the very first days you had as a freshman. You have been preparing for the real world for quite some time now and these next four years will make it all worth it. Congratulations Class of 2016! Go out and show the world what you are made of, and enjoy your well deserved summer before you take on your next adventure... COLLEGE!

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.

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.
