Michelle Obama will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the best first ladies to grace the United States. She came into the White House in 2008 and nobody knew that she would have such an impact on the country. Michelle had all the best qualities of a leader, a role model, and a friend. She could balance being authoritative but also kind. Amid any political turmoil, Michelle stayed calm, cool, and collected as the country looked up to her. I am beyond grateful to have witnessed her FLOTUS reign.

In today’s society, it’s not always easy for a little girl to find a role model. When front-page news is celebrity drug scandals, it’s a bit harder to find some positive news. Michelle always brought the best. I don’t think I have ever seen anything bad about this woman in the media. She was and always will be an amazing role model. She constantly shows empowerment through her push for higher education and a healthier lifestyle. Her poise and advice will live on for years to come.

Michelle Obama knew how to have fun. She could dance on Jimmy Fallon one day and be on iCarly the next. She knew how to give advice. She could push the Gimme Five movement and the Reach Higher Initiative. She knew how to dress. She knew how to be a mom. She really could do everything. In her final address to the public Michelle said, “I hope I’ve made you proud.” All I have to say is thank you Michelle Obama, you have made us so proud.

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.
