How To Live Life To The Fullest
quotestagram

The biggest struggle for college students is figuring out their purpose in life. I can't even count the number of times this semester that I've questioned my major, being in college, or just mortality. Since those mental breakdowns, I've decided to start living life to the fullest because I believe that's the only way I'll truly find my purpose.

If you want something, let yourself have it!

If there's one thing that's been grilled into me, it's letting myself have things that I want. This is worthwhile whether this means going off and buying tickets to a music festival or taking on a dream job. Take your time in college to pursue new things! Through my time in college, I've experienced almost five different majors, three friend vacations, and countless memories. These experiences have left me excited for the future. Here are five things that can help you live your life to the fullest.

1. Say "Yes" More Often

Saying "yes" will give you a chance to experience things that you would normally turn down! By all means, don't say yes to drugs or non-consensual activities, but do say yes to new adventures. I recently accepted a cruise invitation by two high school friends. I know that even though I'm nervous about it, I'm going to have a ton more memories that I'll be able to enjoy for the rest of my life.

2. Travel Everywhere

Traveling is a sure fire way to help you feel like you're fulfilling your purpose in life. I love the feeling of experiencing a new place! How many times have you wished that you were in another country living a different life? Try to actually go out and experience that other life! It's just out there waiting for you.

3. Think Outside the Box

Lately, I've been thinking about the different kinds of jobs or opportunities that are out there. Take the time to research some unusual opportunities that are available to you! I recently discovered that I can get a job on a cruise ship as a bartender. How cool is that?!

4. Keep In Touch With Old Friends

I'm forever thankful for my forever friends. While right now they tend to be my party buddies, I know that one day they'll be connections to the professional world.

5. Make Mistakes

I love knowing that I can make mistakes and still grow from them! Don't ever let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

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.
