Starting My New Years Resolution Early!
new year

Every new year comes around and people start making lists of everything they want to change, do new and start for the new year. I can not lie I am the same way. I always say I want to go into the New Year and start exercising everyday, eating healthy, and getting the best grades possible. Well yes I do start those new goals but I never follow through. Just like most people I assume. So this year I decided to change that. When I came home from winter break I gave myself a week to get use to being home and then I said I was going to start my New Years Resolution Early! I am tired of using the new year as an excuse to push myself to start off strong for a week and then like most people crash after maybe the first month. So lets change that! You do not need the new year to start a resolution! Start now! I started going to the gym everyday, thinking about what I put into my mouth and I have been thinking about how I can make my next semester in college the best yet! I am going to go back to school a better me! A healthier me, and thats my goal! Do not let the fear of the unknown or the fear of pain to stop you. Like they say, "Pain is Game" and if you want to see the end results than you have put in the effort. I can not wait for summer to come around and to look back and realize that all of my hard work has paid off.

Do not get me wrong, I am excited to start this new year off right! 2016 has not been the best year for me, and I am excited to see what the new year brings me! 2017 is going to be a good one I have a feelings! The main point I am trying to make here is do not wait until the new year to start a new resolution! Jump on in! Everyone needs a fresh start and creating a resolution may be the best thing you have every done! I know for me, I feel better eating healthier, and exercising and it has only been about 2 weeks! Even with the holidays and eating lots of food as long as I keep on doing the goals I have set for me, I am not going to fail! I received a fortune in my fortune cookie the other week that really has really motivated me, "Do not fear failure". Failure is not an option, so don't wait to start a new goal, just go out and do it!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
