Random Thoughts

I can't tell you what this one's about.

I’m running out of things to write about. I feel like I’m the most boring person in the world, I don’t have anything interesting to write about! I always get super bad writer’s block, but when I get to writing, it just writes itself.

This time is different, I’m seriously struggling to figure out what to write about! I overanalyze everything and worry about whether or not people are going to judge me for what I write about and share online. I get very self-conscious when it comes to my writing. It can be personal, and I’m sharing things about my life that I haven’t really talked about all that much.

Sometimes, I just need to ramble on and on until I get to something that I want to write about. Writing is hard! I am jealous of those people who have something new and cool to write about every week. I don’t have any cool experiences to write about – literally all I do with my life is homework.

I started a new volunteer experience on Friday. I’ll be at the Lewis-Clark Early Childhood Program here in Lewiston. I’m really excited! I love being around kids more than anything, so this is going to be a really great experience for me. Even if I’m just filing papers, as I was doing on Friday, it will be alright with me because I know I’ll be making a difference, even if it is in a pretty small way.

As I look back, this is the most random thing I’ve ever written. There’s not even a theme whatsoever! You know, maybe I just needed to ramble on for this week’s article, then I can have a fresh start for next week. I always try to look up ideas online, but I can never really find anything that I am interested in writing about.

The only thing I can write about that’s going on in my life is how much homework I’m doing. I go pretty much all day, every day each week, going to class and meetings. The only other thing I really can do is do homework. That’s what my friends and I do when we hang out. Either that or go to Dutch Bros or McDonald's.

Next week I promise to have something more focused to write about. But for now, this is what’s going on in my mind.

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.
