The Journey To Come

Someday, somehow, I will see all this hard work pay off and I will look back nostalgically upon these days and admire myself for never giving up.

The Journey To Come

As we embark yet again on a brand new semester, things are just as new as they are scary. With each satisfying opening of a crisp new notebook, we remember how long it's been since we last had to write. With each lecture PowerPoint, we realize how hard it is to get back into the swing of typing fast enough to follow the professors ever sounding lecture.

It may seem scary now, when you realize how out of touch you have become with the learning process. It becomes completely and entirely terrifying when you line up all your syllabi and realize that all your exams lineup perfectly with one another. It's easy to forget how many times you have done it and gotten through it in the past, especially when all you remember is how hard it was to do so.

I look ahead to what is to come and as scary as it is, I can't help but to be so excited. I know that I have earned my place in this current time lapse and I have earned the right to be proud of it. I know that it has not been easy to accomplish all of these things, and it is quite a journey. A journey that I am glad to be apart of, and one that I cannot wait to embark on even further.

I know that this semester will be so so tough, but I will be even tougher. This semester won't give me any extra handouts, but I know that it will get harder as it goes so I will embrace it and continue the fight. Someday, somehow, I will see all this hard work pay off and I will look back nostalgically upon these days and admire myself for never giving up.

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.

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.
