The New Year is upon us and it is time to make New Year’s resolutions. Now instead of making a resolution that I will not keep after a few weeks, I decided that I would dedicate 2018 to be my Golden Year, since my golden birthday will happen during 2018. After almost two decades on this planet, I really want to make the best life possible for myself. Here is what I am going to do in 2018 to live my best life...

1. Stay focused on school

Education has always been important to me and staying focused on my studies is critical right now. I am so ready to just live life and be a real adult, but I have to get through the next three and a half years before I can start building my life.

2. Show love to others

Sometimes, especially in college, it is hard to deal with all the different types of people that you encounter. That being said, it is extremely important to show love and kindness to everyone you meet. Not only will you make more friends, but showing kindness to others will help you build habits that will help you in your future career.

3. Spend quality time with friends

Spending time with your friends is crucial. They will be there when you need to destress, talk, cry, eat, and basically anything else. Taking the time to spend with your friends is a great escape from the other stressors of life.

4. Take time for myself

Spending time with friends is great and all, but it is also important to take time for yourself. Whether it be a nap, reading a book, or a walk on campus, alone time is a necessity. Take time for yourself and really get to know yourself.

5. Serve others

There is so many things to do: school, work, and clubs. Find a way to serve others. It can be little things like holding doors or bigger things like philanthropy events. Just remember that the best reward in life is to serve others and know you are making a difference in someone else's life.

Have Fun!

Besides everything else, remember to HAVE FUN! If you do all these things and are not having fun, what is the point? Enjoying everything you do is the most important thing to remember when trying to make the best life for yourself.

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.
