Dear High School Senior,

I want to begin by saying congratulations on getting accepted to Hunter College! Going through the college application process and getting accepted to a college is a very stressful and long process. But you have made it through one of those hoops, you have been accepted to one of the greatest CUNY's and you have a future to look forward to. However, choosing which college to go to is another difficult process.

Although I do not know a lot about Hunter College myself, I have seen a lot during a tour of the college and have heard great things from my friends and college counselors. Since I am an incoming freshman myself I will begin with why I chose Hunter College. One of the reasons many people choose Hunter is because of the location. Hunter is in the middle of the city where there is access to a lot of opportunities and resources.

The location of Hunter is attractive to many students and Hunter has its own stop on the 6 train. Another reason why some people choose Hunter is that they want to stay closer to home, this is the case for some students who live in New York City like myself. There is also a variety of majors and minors offered at Hunter that appeals to many students and pre-professional advising offered to students who are interested in any pre-professional programs.

I am interested in the pre-health program and I have heard that there are a lot of opportunities and advising resources for pre-health students. In addition, in this time of a public health crisis many people are facing financial hardships and Hunter is affordable compared to other colleges in the city.

Hopefully, as I begin my own Hunter journey whether it be virtual or in person, I will be able to offer you more advice and information about Hunter and the programs/opportunities Hunter offers for its students. In the meantime, I hope that wherever you choose to go to college whether it be Hunter or not that you will have an enriching and great experience.

Sincerely,
Shanjana

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.
