Time To Begin My Senior Year

Senior year, what? Time to make the best of it and make memories!

Time To Begin My Senior Year
Miss Heard Magazine

This week I start my senior year of high school -- senior year! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was a freshman who was still trying to figure out this whole high school life. I have learned many lessons these past three years, made many memories and grown as a person. There are so many things that come with senior year. From your last first day, ACT scores, prom, Friday night lights, senioritis, college decisions, all the way to graduation.

Part of me is ready to be a senior and be done with high school, but the other part of me is a little nervous. You are probably thinking, "Nervous? You shouldn't be nervous for senior year." Well, I kind of am because I know it is going to go by super fast, and I also know that after this is college. College will be a whole other step and chapter in my life that I will talk about too when the time comes. Anyway, there is still that little girl inside me that doesn't want to grow up. Who still needs her parents to help her sometimes, and who wishes she wasn't leaving home in a year. Then again, I want to be independent and get to do things grown ups do. It feels like I am stuck in the middle which is not fun sometimes, but I know it will all be OK and I will be OK.

I hear that senior year is a time to make every second count and I truly believe that. I hope this year I will have fun, but most importantly, create special memories with my friends before it is time to say goodbye to each other. I am a very emotional person who will probably cry a lot as a senior. Actually I already have! I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that I am growing up. I remember how last year I wished I was already a senior, and now I understand why the seniors last year would say, "No you don't. I wish I was still a junior." Time flies way too fast to just live life without making the best of it. I guess what I hope to keep in mind this year is to live in the moment and to not rush through this last year of high school. So, cheers to senior year! Time to make awesome memories and enjoy the the little things!

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.
