Make 2019 Truly the Best Year Yet
Kaitlyn Borer

With each new year there typically comes resolutions. Most people have broke their resolutions by now, let's be honest. I saw a ton of people on social media say that 2019 is going to be their year. Here are some ways that I am making 2019 the best year yet.

I am a college student so that means money is tight and I have to plan. This year I am being open to opportunities. I have learned that some of the best experiences in your life are the ones that you least expect. This means that I am looking for off the wall chances and taking them. For me this means I am taking chances for finding a summer internship.

I am getting out of my comfort zone. I am traveling to Brazil in the middle of the year and I could not be more excited. Many people have told me that Brazil is dangerous and a BAD idea. I tell them the same thing, bad things can happen anywhere. I am going with people that I only recently met. I am taking the leap of faith and going for it and couldn't be happier with my decision.

In 2019 I want to refind what I am passionate about and what brings me joy. One of those things is writing. I decided to start writing and sharing. When I was younger I wrote all the time from poems to stories. With age and life I left writing behind, but now I am bringing it back. I also am making more time for reading. Reading gives me a chance to relax and not stress. I am determined to make sure that I don't get too caught up in what is going on around me.

Surrounding yourself with good, positive people is the key to peace. Negativity is way more contagious than positivity unfortunately. This year I am putting my energy and focus on people who give me something back. I am not talking about material items. I mean the people that provide something to your soul, peace, attitude, emotion. Finding people to support you is the only way to make it through.

Ultimately in 2019 I am finding my true happiness. Happiness is the ultimate life goal. Life is too short to be unhappy and not be at peace with yourself. So here's to truly the best year yet!

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.
