During midterms week, people always post pictures of quotes on Instagram or post quotes on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms. Everyone is constantly wishing everyone good luck and telling them that they will do great. It's funny to think it all just stops the second testing ends. We should strive to be motivated all the time and in all aspects of our life, not just school and midterms/finals. We should also push our friends and encourage them to strive to do their best in everything they do. It should not take testing for everyone to want others to do well.

1. "Do it for you, not them."

Do well and succeed and make yourself happy and proud. That is all that matters.

2. "Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more." - Mother Teresa

Why waste time being anything other than happy?

3. "Wherever you are, be all there." - Jim Elliot

Give 100% in all you do, all of the time.

4. "Believe in yourself, and you will be unstoppable."

You are in charge of yourself and no one else. All you need is you.

5. "Be the CEO your parents wanted you to marry."

People are often told to marry someone well off, but why do that when you are capable of striving and succeeding yourself? Do not wait for someone to do it for you. Dream big, work hard and empower yourself.

6. "I didn't get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it." - Estée Lauder

Work hard for what you want even if it doesn't come easy and has obstacles. Let nothing stop you.

7. "A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done." - Vince Lombardi

Goals can take sacrifices. Are you willing to make them?

8. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think." - Christopher Robin

Sometimes a good childhood movie can remind us that we are capable.

9. "Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and think of what could go right."

Take risks. You never know what could come out of a situation.

10. "You Are Never Too Old To Set Another Goal Or To Dream A New Dream." - C.S. Lewis

Age does not matter. It is never too late.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.

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.
