My 2017 Bucketlist

A list of things that sound easier to do than they actually are

My 2017 Bucketlist
Cassidy Sutton

If you're like me and feel like 2016 was a dud year for you, here are some of my ideas to take into the new year to make the most out of 2017.

Find Yourself

I know this is as cliche as it gets, but as I was reflecting on 2016, I realized that I hadn't done anything for or by myself. It's important to find something you're passionate about and find hobbies that interest you. Going to school and work don't count, even though they leave you exhausted. It's important to know what you love to do by yourself so that you can meet people who share those things with you.

Take a Trip

Whether it be with friends, family, a significant other, or alone, a trip to a new place opens up your mind and relieves you from your everyday life. Somewhere close and convenient, a road trip across the state or country, or a flight across the world, can all bring you joy in different ways. Don't let the stress of school or work overcome you and your bound to have a better year.

Say No to "Fake Love"

Like with any Drake song, his recent "Fake Love" got me thinking about the people in my life that no longer give it value. It's time to move on from the people who don't bother to reply to your texts or follow through with plans and only keep people around who cherish you.

Exercise More

As much as I loathe cardio it has so many benefits. Not only is it healthy for you, but it increases your endorphins leaving you in a more positive state of mind.

Overwhelm Yourself

And not in a stressful kind of way. I mean, do something thrilling that you've always wanted to do. Do something that you can tell a million people and never get tired of talking about. Do something that you can be proud of saying you accomplished in 2017.

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.
