Premier League: 5 Young Stars To Look Out For In 2016/17

1. Mitchy Batshuayi - Chelsea

After scoring 23 goals in 50 appearances last season for Marseille, Chelsea snapped up the 22-year-old Belgian for a reported £33 million. It will be interesting to see how new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte fits Batshuayi into his plans and if a partnership develops between him and Belgian teammate Eden Hazard. With pace, power, and an eye for goal, look out for Chelsea's new number 23.

2. Raheem Sterling - Manchester City

In Pep Guardiola's first press conference as Manchester City manager, he described his curiosity about Sterling and suggested that he is one of the players he is looking forward to working with and trying to bring the best out of. After a less than explosive last few months, I am one person that hopes and believes Guardiola will bring the best out of Sterling.

3. Ahmed Musa - Leicester City

The Nigerian International is a club record signing for the Champions at around £16 million. A pacey finisher who can play out wide or centrally, the Musa, Vardy, Mahrez partnership is one that I can see working very well. Only 23-years-old, Musa can still learn a lot and hopefully adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible. With 17 goals in 40 appearances for CSKA Moscow last season, he can only add to Leicester's firepower.

4. Kelechi Iheanacho - Manchester City

Iheanacho is coming off the back of a very impressive freshman season for City. Being handed a more prominent role in cup competitions, Iheanacho scored four goals in three appearances in the FA Cup and got two goals in two appearances in the League Cup. In 26 appearances in the league, mainly featuring as a substitute, Iheanacho grabbed eight goals, often coming at important times for City. He will look to build on this under Guardiola and should be given a more consistent role within the team in the upcoming season.

5. Marcus Rashford - Manchester United

One of the stories of the season was Marcus Rashford rapid rise from an unknown academy player to regular goalscorer. Scoring eight times in 18 appearances for United gained Rashford, his first senior England call-up, he then impressively scored within minutes of his debut, and was a surprise addition to England's Euro 2016 squad. With the arrival of Jose Mourinho as manager and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a sure starter in that position, I am still tipping Rashford to have a big season with the Red Devils.

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.
