Where were you a year ago?

Think about where you were a year ago. For me I was a high school senior. I did not live an hour and a half away from home. I was not engaged. I did not have my precious puppy. Just like every high school senior, I was ready to graduate and go to college. But here I am, wanting to tell high school seniors to slow down. These are the days that are easy to live. It is easy to go to school with all of your friends and then go home at the end of the day. But at the same time, living this repetitive lifestyle makes us oblivious to the little things that happen everyday. Like getting to see your family every night. When you go to college that changes. You will go days without speaking to your family simply because you are so busy. Not only that but you will not see your high school friends anymore. In high school I was so ready to graduate because that meant I was officially an adult. Well let me be the bearer of bad news. Being an adult is hard work. Your high school teachers are here to walk you through your classes everyday. In college you see your professor twice or three times a week and have to retain as much as you can in those short class periods. I am not going to continue with the hardships of college because you have probably heard it before. I just want to tell you not to rush. Take your time and enjoy your senior year. Go to your senior prom, picnic, pep rallies. Do all of those things with your school and your family. Enjoy the little moments. Before you know it you will have just finished your first semester of college. Think about how much your life has changed in the matter of 365 days.

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.
