May 1st is National College Decision filled with excitement and new college t-shirts for high school seniors. However, not everyone is going to their top choice college, and that is OK. Whether it is financial reasons, waitlist, or rejection, coping with the idea of going to a college that you're not as excited about is hard. Especially on May 1st, when it seems as though everyone is excited and 100 percent positive about their college decision.

But trust me, everything will be OK, even if you are not excited.

Trust me, everyone is nervous about college and even though one is going to their top choice does not mean they are going to love it.

Trust me, you can always transfer. If you get there and realize that it really isn't working for you, you can always transfer. No, it won't be the easiest thing in the world, but it is always an option. This isn't the decision that closes all other doors. Absolutely not.

Trust me, you were meant to go where you are going (everything happens for a reason).

Trust me, you will make the most out of your college experience– join extracurriculars to meet different people. Every school offers something unique and has so many different people just waiting to meet you.

Trust me, the name of the school will not matter if you have the drive and work ethic to be successful in life. It doesn't matter where you go, it matters what you do there.

Trust me, college will be some of the best 4 years of your life, regardless of where you end up.

Whether or not you are going to your top choice school, good luck Class of 2018.

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.
