A Letter To The New President
Trump

Dear Mr. President (elect),

You better buckle up. Get ready for a country that is in need of change and a little bit of TLC. You may be loved, hated, ridiculed, and disrespected for the next four years. The people of the United States of America are relying on you to keep us safe, follow through, and solve (some of) our problems. 319 million peoples lives are in your hands- don't mess up. No pressure or anything though.

Half of America likes you and will stand behind you, probably, for the next four years. The other half is outraged and questioning your morals and character and how that will make you an unfit president. I am hoping that you won't fail. That you will "Make America Great Again" as you claim that you will. I hope that you will fill the cabinet with men and women that mirror what our nation looks like and stands for. I hope that you know that this is not just another business investment, that this is real people, with real lives.

Mr. President, I pray that you remember what this country was founded on: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Let us as a nation continue, or start, pursuing happiness however we desire. Let us become more United in a time of some of the most division. It is your job to protect our freedoms, rights, and lives. Remember that you are responsible for caring for all people of our nation, not just the ones that look like you. You are a president to all the people whether they want to claim it or not. You need to love them and care for them all. Please don't do anything crazy with your power.

You just inherited 319 million (and counting) children...GO

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.
