Let's Stop Judging
Cherished Magazine

I don't know about y'all, but I'm so tired of being judged or shamed for my decisions, actions or thoughts. We live in a great country, where we have the right to do, feel and act however we want, so let's stop shaming.

College is the place for diversity and change. We're supposed to be figuring ourselves out while trying to make good grades, finding our circle, finding something to believe in and being happy. We all know how tough this time can be, so why add on judgements when we're all in the same boat? So let's stop judging.

The partiers and home bodies: if you're the person who likes to go out every chance you get to blow off steam, that's okay! If you're the person who rather stay in on the weekends to get some alone time, that's okay! Instead of judging the other for being "too crazy" or "lame," think "okay well I hope they have a good time!"

The single and the one in a relationship: let's stop shaming the girl or guy in a relationship!! If they want to hangout with their significant other the majority of their time, that's okay! Their significant other can be their best friend, only friend, sole supporter, etc., and it's okay. If you're single, know that the one's in the relationships are cheering you on!

The religious and the non: whether you believe, worship, have no opinion on or don't believe in God, that's okay. For the believers, let's stop judging the ones not going to campus ministries or church on Sunday. Instead, pray for them anyways. For the non, stop judging the ones that are spiritual. Everyone has their thing they need to believe in to keep going.

Y'all let's just stop shaming. Let's stop judging. This world is tough. College is hard. Growing up and trying to find yourself is a difficult process. We all know this to be true. So if you party, have fun and be safe. If you don't, enjoy your relaxation.. If you're single, flirt away. if you're not, enjoy your date nights. If you're religious, pray for this world. If you're not, keep on doing you. Let's all just be happy, mind our own business, and live this life the best each of us can.

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.
