What are your hopes for 2017?

We're all here the saying, "New Year New Me" around this time of year. And while we all know that we won’t be completely new, we all have hopes for the new year. I took to asking some of my friends what their hopes for the new year are, and here are the responses. The first one on the list is mine.

To not let anxiety get the best of me and to be outgoing more

To be 100% happy with who I am

To actually do the things I say I'm gonna do. And to be happy.

To enjoy each day as it comes and not let my anxiety get in the way of that!

Being successful in all that I do over the next year

To act like myself and not based on how other people think I should

To shape myself into a stronger and more motivated person and to stop letting what other people think of me affect the way I live my life

Be 100% myself around everyone old and new

Finally be comfortable enough to take my socks off during intimate moments

To be a good mom to my little girl

I want to experiment more

I want to find out where all the bees went. Seriously. Where did they go??

To get a grip on my anger

To stop stressing the little things and let myself live more fully

I'll be able to manage my schedule better and find more time to spend with friends

I want to learn to appreciate myself and my good qualities more

To focus on being the best I can be and not let my anxiety stop me from being happy anymore

To spend more time with my friends and family

To push past my comfort zones by trying new things and to find out who I am


So 2017, we need to learn from the negatives and develop the positive in ourselves and in the world around us.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
