Why I Chose Nursing
Kaitlin Anderson

I get asked a lot "why did you chose such a hard and demanding major?" or "why not become a doctor because you'll make more money?". To be honest, I have considered becoming a doctor! Probably because I have watched too much "Grey's Anatomy," but nursing has always been my calling. And to tell you why I love nursing and want to be one other than "I want to help people" which is completely true, I've compiled a list of why I chose Nursing

1. I chose Nursing because I love people.

I am a huge people person and I couldn't picture a job that would let me help and be around people all the time!

2. I chose Nursing because I will be getting paid to love on people.

I get to help people feel better and let them know they aren't alone in what may be their darkest time.

3. I chose Nursing because it pushes me to work harder every day.

To become a nurse is extremely hard work! Even though I am not yet a nurse and in school to be one, you need to know a lot of hard stuff!

4. I chose Nursing because you get to do something different every day!

Every day is an adventure with this major/job! You are constantly learning and doing something new!

5. I chose Nursing because I basically get to wear pajamas to work and mess with really cool equipment all day while saving people's lives.

Scrubs and stethoscopes, need I say more?

6. I chose Nursing because I love it and I couldn't picture myself doing anything but helping people for the rest of my life.

Helping people is who I am and what I love!

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.
