The Belief Of An Undecided Millenial

Don't judge me.

I am a millennial. I work full-time, will be attending college with a complete class load, own my own car I bought myself, and pay rent. You will tell me I am one of few, but as I look around there many others just like me. I’m a millennial. I refuse to decide on a political party because it is unnecessary and primarily the reason our country is failing. I’m a millennial. I read books and Facebook posts but I’m well aware of which one is more knowledgeable if you were concerned. I support the LGBTQ community because politics should have no correlation with who you love. I believe that as long as there is a drug epidemic in this country addiction should be seen as an illness instead of a crime. I believe in volunteering and working for everything you receive. I'm a millennial.

I believe that there is no way that Donald Trump will make America great again but neither will Hillary and if you ask me who I’m going to vote I will sternly tell you neither. I will not choose between the less of two evils when I can vividly view both of their corruption. Hilary clearly should have been charged for her crimes in Benghazi and can’t we realize that shady business is what landed America in the boat we are in now? Trump’s tried business ethics would just make it worse. I’m a millennial. I believe in unity and independence but not seclusion of those we are told are inferior. I’m disgusted by politics and how the union has changed from its originality to a corrupt system in which the people no longer have control. Before I am anything I am a human and I will give everyone else I look at the same dignity to be solely a human also. I’m a millennial.

My opinions are ever changing because I have been taught to keep an open mind. I won't fall into the media trap that has seamlessly tore this country apart and I advise you to not either. This world has so much possibility for me to be optimistic about and considering I am a millennial and we are statistically the most optimistic generation I guess that fits. Clearly not every millennial has the same views as me but isn't that the point? That we can all be from the same era but think out of our own boxes. So please before you title me “another millennial”, remember that a few people's actions do not define us as a whole. I am a millennial, but before I am anything, I am human. Please treat me as so. God bless.

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.
