To The Newly Crowned High School Seniors, Make The Most Of Your Last Year

Yay! You have almost made it through 3 years of high school and now you are just counting down the days to graduation. I am sure that your parents are counting down the days until you move out for college or whatever life plan that you have for yourself. This is an exciting time because you are now the "Big Dogs" on campus and you feel like you own the school, but you should want to be the seniors that encourage the younger kids to do the right thing and not be bullying them just because you can.

You will have a lot of tough decisions to make during this next year of your life, and some of these decisions could be the biggest ones that you make in your entire life, so make them wisely. Be careful about how you make those decisions and don't let anybody else make them for you because you absolutely know what is best for you. Think about what you really want to do and find the best option for you.

Spend as much time with your family during this next year because you never know where you will end up. Spend time with your friends because you may all end up in different places next year and you don't want to go to college and lose connection with some of the greatest people in your life. Also, be there for the family members or friends who need help.

Do your very best during this next year because no matter how bad your senioritis gets, these grades will still count toward your admission to college. You still need to try and also stay involved, this is your last chance to leave a mark on your school!

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.
