My 2016 Resolutions

The arrival of 2016, for me, has involved a great deal of reflection of the good and bad happenings of 2015. While reflecting on the good has involved heaps of reminiscing, reflecting on the bad has involved setting new goals for 2016. In 2015, I have made my mistakes and have learned from them. In 2016, I hope that I will have learned from my previous mistakes and make new ones.

Some of my resolutions are things that I set yearly; such as, going to the gym more frequently, eating healthier, being more outgoing in social events, and things like that. These things I have to set yearly because they are things that I want to do but it doesn't mean as much to me as other things. For 2016, I plan on making some resolutions that REALLY mean something. I plan on changing little things.

Resolution 1

I want to tell my friends and family how much they mean to me more often because you never know what day will be your last.

Resolution 2

Dedicate more time to my studies. While the relationships that I have made during college mean a lot to me, I am there for one reason. A degree.

Resolution 3

I have to stop cancelling plans just because I am tired. As long as I get seven hours of sleep, I have no reason to cancel just because I want to lay in bed and watch Friends.

Resolution 4

Get an internship because your resume can always use a little something extra.

Resolution 5

Stop being so up-tight about things I can't control. Life is going to happen and there will be mistakes on the way. Being up-tight doesn't mean you won't make mistakes it just means you won't have fun on the way.

Here are the resolutions that I am making for myself for the 2016 year. These five resolutions are the ones that I plan on keeping but if I also go to the gym more and eat healthier, that wouldn't be so bad.

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.
