Highlights From The First Week Of 2017
People

After only five days of 2017, the celebrity and pop culture world are off to a good start. Actually, let's say phenomenal! I'm not sure if these events are an indication of the forthcoming year, but we could be off to a shaky start. Let me, a pop culture enthusiast, break down some of the most crucial happenings of the first week of January:

1. Kim K. posts her first photo in 2 months

That's right, Kim Kardashian took a bit of a social media hiatus after her Paris robbery! But, don't worry, she posted on Snapchat and Instagram during her New Year's celebrations and reached out to media outlets to quell divorce rumors. All in all, Kim is back to being the selfie queen and KIMYE is not going anywhere anytime soon.

2. Kendall Jenner might be rekindling a previous relationship

Another Kardashian-related piece of news! Kendall has been seen several times in the last week with ex-boyfriend, Chandler Parsons. Whether the interactions were coincidences or dates, it looks like this Kardashian has her astrological identity in line with the love sign.

3. Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale sang a duet

Well, if you're like most others on the planet, you did not know that Ashley Tisdale has a YouTube channel. In fact, on this channel, she features musical artists. After multiple requests, she had Vanessa Hudgens sing "Ex's and Oh's" with her and the world lit up with excitement.

4. Matt Lauer wears a choker on television

TODAY Show host, Matt Lauer decided to sport a very fashion-forward accessory on January 4th, 2017. He unbuttoned some of his collared shirt to reveal a thick, black choker. Needless to say, his female co-hosts found the gesture hilarious, but social media blew up.

PSA: the "choker trend" memorial service will be held soon and trend killer, Matt Lauer, will be tried in the coming weeks as police finalize their investigation.

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.
