Why I'm Sick Of School..

I Am So SICK OF SCHOOL! I've only been in here for what, a month. One month in and I've had it! Group projects are terrible, peoples are butt-holes and life seems to not want to be in my favor. If you came to this article thinking I was just going to rant about how school is terrible, you are sadly mistaken. Yes school can be stressful, tiring and just god awful, but when we cross that stage, it's all going to be worth it.

Right now I am a Junior in college, and I am just now peaking my horizon. I can honestly say I wouldn't be the person I am if it wasn't for my peers, my family and...SCHOOL! Yes school has it's negative factors but with all the negative factors I put with school, theirs a positive one. Then there is questions I ask myself, as in Why am I even in college? What is college really going to do for me? As much as I try to downplay college, my inner thoughts tell me otherwise. If I wasn't meant to be at an University or college, I feel as though I wouldn't be here. I live and die by the statement 'what is meant to happen. will happen.' I feel as though you can't force anything to happen, if it was meant to happen in your life, it will pull through.

For the readers that is looking at every single word that is being put on this very page, that's right I'm talking to YOU the reader, the one staring at this either on a phone or laptop. I commend you to really think, why are you in college? Is it because of your parents? Is it for a better life? Never do stuff because someone else wants you to do them. I challenge each and everyone of you to start doing school, not because of your parents or someone else, but actually for yourself, you just might see an improvement and actually appreciate school more for what it has to bring for you.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
