It's finally here and almost half way over.

Senior year is the year I've longed for since 9th grade, I just couldn't wait to be done with school. Now we're almost half way through the school year and it's bitter sweet. I've worked so hard to get where I am today and it's scary to think that by this time next year I'll be six hours away from my family, going to college. I'm going to be on my own and I honestly don't know how I feel about that.

Everything is happening so fast, my last marching band season is almost over, homecoming was here and gone, we just had senior night, and it's almost the end of first semester. Graduation will be here before we know it.

everything is coming to an end way too fast.

Thank you to my family for believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself and pushing me to do my best. I wouldn't have made it here without you (literally, I probably would have failed)

Thank you to my friends who struggled with me. It was hard but we didn't have to do it alone. I love you guys, even the ones I don't talk to anymore.

Thank you to my teachers for pushing me and helping me achieve my goals. Thank you for teaching me not only how to find the perimeter of a triangle, (like I'll ever need it), but also teaching me life lessons that I will carry with me on to college and use through the rest of my life.

I've made so many amazing memories in high school and it just doesn't seem possible that I'm already a senior. Freshmen year was literally only 2 months ago it feels like. There were bad times, and times when I seriously thought I wouldn't pass to the next level, and times I was so overwhelmed with everything life was throwing at me that I would just cry. There were also amazing times that I will never forget and I will cherish forever. I made amazing friends and got rid of a few toxic ones but overall high school has been the best part of my life so far. I will carry these memories on with me and have amazing stories to tell one day.

I'm ready to take on the rest of my senior year and I will cherish every second of it because there May 22, 2017 is right around the corner.

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.
