New Year, Who dis??

Every start of a new year people make a change in their life to better their selves and life called a new years resolution. The goals could be to stop eating unhealthy foods or to start being a better person. When the new year rolls around, I tend to make a resolution but soon disregard it but this year I intend to stick to my goals which include the following.

1. Organize my life

Throughout the year of 2016, my life was a complete mess. I was so unorganized with life and school. So, this year I intend to get my life together by getting myself a planner and learning how to get my life together.


2. Enjoy the present

In 2016 I would often reflect on bad things that happen in the pass. As well as stress about the future way to much.Although, it's important to think about the future, it also important to live your life to fulliest and enjoy the present.


3. Start eating some what right

I'm going to start eating healthy. I'm a freak for fast food like Chick Fil A or Dominos but I need to start balancing out my eating lifestyle because it's a mess and I need to start eating bettter.

4. Try NEW things

I'm not a risk taker at all and I feel like that's held me back from a lot of things in life and slowed me down. So this is a goal that I really want to keep. I've missed out on so many oppurtines and I want to out that to an end ASAP.

5. Spend more time with friends

Not gonna lie, I would much rather lay in bed and watch netflix than hang out with friends which sucks but I'm being honest. I have so many amazing friends and I need to spend more time with them cause I love them and they need more time.

6. Have more confidence

I've always struggled with self confidence for a while now. I tend to delete pictures on social media if I feel like I don't meet the expections or change my outfit 20 times before I feel confident in one. So. This year I want to step out of my comfort zone and have more confidence in myself.

7. Write more

I love the oddessy online platfrom and I want to start being ceative with it and just putting my thoughts and ideas out there for the world. Last year, I barely produced any work and now I'm ready to go all in.

8. Priortize things

To keep things short, I need to stop focusing on boys and love and start focusing on myself and my life.

9. Learn how to save money

I'm broke AF and need to learn how to save money. In 2016, I was working a mimumin wage job and wouldd spend every paycheck on food and clothes I really need.

10. Read my bible more and spend more time with God

I've had Jesus in my life but I need him more than ever to get me through this year .

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.

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.
