7 Things I Hope I'll Be 7 Years From Now

While longterm life goals are great, short-term goals are also super important.

When I think about my future I often think about who I'll be when I'm older. While longterm life goals are great, short-term goals are also super important. Here are seven things I hope I will be over the next seven years.

1. Confident

As a woman, I can say this is something I have always struggled with. I hope to one day look back and realize how silly I was to be so insecure, also to be able to instill confidence in the women and young girls in my life.

2. Educated

This is so important. As the first one in my family to attend college, I feel not only the excitement but the pressure from my family. I value my education and the opportunities it will hopefully present to me.


3. Married

A loving husband? Yes, please. I pray every single night that I find a man who loves me, as well as my family. Finding a man who wants to be a leader and provider for his family is my ultimate goal.

4. A mother

Traveling is good for the soul. I want to explore new places and meet new people. I want to learn about places different from where I grew up.

6. Financially stable

This is more for my family than it is for me. I want to be able to give my kids a life they deserve, as well as be able to spend time with them.

7. Successful

I want to be successful. I want people to know me for the good things I've accomplished. I want my kids to look up to me as an inspiration for their futures.

Most of all, I want to be happy. No matter how much money I have or how many places I have seen. Whether I have one child or four. Happiness is the ultimate goal.

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.
