Will 2017 Be My Year?

I'm hopefully optimistic that it will be great.

Now that 2016 has officially come to a close, we can move on to 2017. After the great dumpster fire that was last year, I'm hopeful that 2017 will be the year that all of us need. There are so many good things coming our way in 2017 that, hopefully, it will turn out to be a good year. It would be difficult for things to go worse than they did in 2016, after all, and that's all I'm asking for.

This year there is so much for everyone to look forward to. Tons of great movies are coming out, so many great artists are going on tour, and shows will be coming back from hiatus super soon. I personally can't wait to see Panic! At the Disco in Columbus on their first ever stadium tour, and so many great movies are coming out that I couldn't begin to name all of the ones that I'm excited to see.

I'm also looking at a good year on a more personal level. I'm going to see Hamilton in Chicago at the end of January, and I absolutely can't wait. It might not be Broadway, but it's still going to absolutely phenomenal, especially with Karen Olivo as a member of the cast. I've been waiting to see this show for over a year, so I can't believe that it's almost here.

This year will also (hopefully) be the year that I am able to officially move out of my parents' house. I'm hoping to get an apartment for the summer and next school year so that I can stop living on campus and really start to experience life and everything college really has to offer.

Finally, I'm really hoping that I'll be able to find an internship in my field for this summer. I want to go into editing and publishing, so I'm planning to apply for internships in New York City so that I can really begin to experience my dream career. As much as I love writing and editing for Odyssey, it'll be exciting to experience the office setting of the job.

While I can't guarantee that 2017 will be my year, I'm hopefully optimistic that it will be. I really think that I have enough going for this year that I can make it mine, even if it isn't the best year overall. I'm excited to see what this year holds, but I won't know until I experience it.

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.
