To The Girl Who Is Content Being Single

I'm content with being single and that's OK.

To The Girl Who Is Content Being Single

To the girl who is content with being single.

Going into my freshman year of college I set a lot of goals for myself; I wanted good grades, to make new friends and to be involved in various clubs and such. However, one goal I set for myself was to stay single until I was done with college. Whenever I talk about this, people think it's a joke. They don't believe I'll be able to do it; some say I won't even make it through my freshman year without finding a boyfriend. However, they are mistaken and here's why:

This is an open letter to the girl who is content with being single because I myself am that girl. Right now, focusing on relationships and trying to catch the attention of others isn't my main concern. At this point in my life, my main concern is bettering myself, focusing on my future and enjoying life. I'm really content with where my life is right now and the direction it is headed in. I don't need a boyfriend to give my life validation when I have that on my own.

Dear girl who is content with being single,

Enjoy Life! It's OK to put yourself first because you have to do what's best for you. Don't let anyone convince you that you need a boyfriend because I'm here to tell you that you don't. You're strong and independent, and that's most definitely not a bad thing. Continue enjoying life and spending time with family and friends. Make memories that you'll remember years from now. When the time is right, your dream boy will come along and you'll know. Don't rush into a relationship because you think you have to have one.

Lastly, I know it's frustrating to constantly be asked, "Oh my gosh why are you still single?" My answer for that is always, "I'm just really content with where my life is at right now so someone would have to be pretty amazing to become a part of it." Keep your chin up, enjoy life and make the most of it. There's nothing wrong with being single and being happy about it.

From,

Your fellow single gal

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.
