Why New York

As my first semester comes to an end I felt it was a good time to reflect why I love New York and in a way back up my decision to move to such a vibrant city.

1. You never feel alone

This was a very important factor since I am an international student. New York is the type of city that either makes or breaks you. In New York city there is a lot of people. Millions of people doing their own thing in every block. Everyone somehow has a purpose in New York. The energy of the city makes you feel as if you already belong here.

2. Forward motion

People are always moving. The city is always moving forward. Everyone is carried by this momentum to do better, faster, and stronger. The city pushes you out of your comfort zone and brings out the best of you when you least expect it.

3. Everyone knows someone

This is one of the most exciting things about New York. If you are planning to start a career here this is crucial. The networking opportunities in New York are endless. Building a business in New York is possible if you are ready to get out of your comfort zone and network in the most unexpected places. In the subway you meet people form different backgrounds that might know someone that is interested in your idea. You never know. In New York the possibilities are endless.

4. There is always something to do.

Whether it is a picnic in Central Park or a themed party, in New York there is ALWAYS something to do.

5. The city has a vibrant atmosphere.

In New York you feel as if nothing is impossible because here everything is possible. New York is the perfect place to start over and reinvent yourself.


New York is one of the most energetic and vibrant cities in the world. If you have not yet visited, I suggest you do so as soon as you get the chance because you will not regret it.

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.

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.
