To Girls On Their Senior Prom

There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good. ~Edwin Denby

Your senior year is one of those times where everything seems to go by so slow or so fast. You are taking SATs and ACTs. You are receiving college acceptance letters and you are trying to figure out which school is going to be best for you. You are trying to find the perfect prom dress for your last prom ever. You are planning your grad-week because it’s the last time all your friends will be able to be in the same place at the same time and be able to have so much fun.

Other than graduation, everyone is excited for their senior prom. All of us girls want the perfect dress with the perfect shoes and the perfect makeup. But, most importantly we want the perfect date. We want that boy we’ve been crushing on your years to ask you. You want your high school sweetheart to ask you. You also might just want to go with your best girl friend.

Coming from a junior in college I remember all these things vividly. It was just an important and fun time. You were making dinner plans, picture times, limo reservations, and picking out what color tie and corsages you were going to wear. You were getting stressed out because you didn’t have your hair or makeup picked out. You were getting stressed because it was two weeks until the prom and your date still hasn’t gotten his tux.

But just breathe, everything is going to be okay. You will have the perfect dress. You will have the most beautiful makeup. Your hair will not fall out, it will look beautiful. Your date will get his tux and he will pick you up on time. You will make it to your picture place on time. You will have the best time of your senior year.

There are also things to remember when you are at your senior prom. Be crazy with your friends. Dance slow dances with your date. Take pictures with your favorite teachers. Take pictures with your best friends. Dance with your best friends. Go to the after party. Stay up all night. You only get to senior prom once.

Senior prom is the last time you get to look like princesses with all your best pals. Take it seriously... but not too seriously.

Oh, and don’t forget to breathe and have the best night ever.

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.
