To The Girl Who Has Her Future Planned:
Alyssa Bartlebaugh

Having your future planned is definitely not a problem! If you aspire to travel after graduation, don’t let anyone hold you back. Your family and friends will always have your back and be awaiting your safe return back home. Never forget to live in the moment, and enjoy life along the way! You deserve it girl!

1. Never Give Up On Your Dream. If you think that you want to go back to college after you graduate the first time, do it! College is a time to figure out who you really are and what you want to do for the rest of your life.

2. Don’t Let People Hold You Back. There will be people who think you should stay put and work in the area. If you have the itch to leave, go for it! You need to make yourself happy in order to live a happy and full life.

3. You Will Regret Some Choices. Maybe you need to change your future plans, but it could end up being the best choice of your life. We are not perfect by any means, you WILL mess up. Maybe you fail a major class and need to stay in college an extra year? Oh well. You can pick up some other important classes along with that class you failed.

4. Push Through the Tough Times. There will be hard times. If you aspire to keep on the same track you had planned, you need to have an incredible drive. Keep on pushing yourself even when things don’t seem to be going the way you planned.

5. Find Someone Who Helps Push You Towards Your Goals. Your family will be the best support team you will ever have. Eventually you will meet a significant other; they NEED to be able to push you to your dreams. Don’t settle for someone just because it feels decent and they try to convince you to find a “realistic” goal.

6. You Need to Remember That Life May Change Things for You and That is Fine. Maybe you lose a close friend or family member and you need to postpone your dreams, remember that you CAN do that. You can control when you reach your goals to a certain point. If a death or issue comes up, breathe and keep going. You can always come back to your dreams when the time comes.

7. Celebrate When You Accomplish Your Dreams! Open a bottle of champagne, drink it all yourself. Go take a LONG nap. Throw a party with friends and family! Do something to celebrate your hard work! You busted your butt and need to make some new goals to accomplish!

8. BE HAPPY! Despite the curveballs life throws, you are you! Live in the moment and smile! You are going through some of the best times of your life and worrying about the future all the time will make you feel saddened. Keep going girl!

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.

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.
