So I know I haven't been writing that much in the past couple of weeks but ya girl is back! Finals week was brutal but I made it through and I'm back to put a smile on your pretty little faces. Now that I've had the time to get used to being home for winter break, I thought I'd share my thoughts that I've had for the first week home. So without further a do, let's get this party started.

Day 1 (The Arrival)

1. *Steps off the coach bus in NYC* "Oh my God! Civilization! People! Tall Buildings!"

2. "It's time to hit the ground running! I got sh#t to do and people to see! Let's Go!"

3. "I'm going to Chipotle. Chipotle is my life."

4. "I'm going to Shake Shack. The burgers are angelic."

5. "Real Spanish food is a must."

Day 2

6. "I'm going to BBQ's.The BBQ ribs are a gift from heaven."

7. "Wow. Food is at the top of my list of being home but have you tasted dining hall food? Exactly"

8. "I gotta go see my best friend. It's about to get crazy up in NYC. They not ready for us."

9. "I gotta go visit my old skating program, Figure Skating in Harlem. I practically live there."

Day 3

10. "I am so excited for this break. I have so many things I want to do."

11. "I gotta go to the ice rink and see my synchro team just so I can steal some of their ice time.

12. "Wow. I have a lot of plans I want to do this break. Do I have the money for all of this?"

13. "You know what? I might have to pull it back with all these plans I have. I live on a fixed budget and NYC ain't cheap."

Day 4

14. "F&ck it. I'm out to see SING at the movies and grab a bite to eat at Chipotle with my best friend."

15. "Wow. I'm starting to get a little bored at home."

16. "Let me go visit my skating program again. That should keep me busy."

17. "Netflix! I'm gonna catch up on all of my shows."

Day 5

18. "Alright, my days are starting to get a little repetitive. This isn't fun."

19. "I need a job. I have a dollar to my name..."

20. "HA!!! That last point was funny. I'm too lazy for an actual job."

21. "I'm starting to miss my friends back at school."

22. "Wait how long is this break?"

23. "It's official. I'm bored. Let's get back to school. Not for the work, but for my friends."


So yeah. These are a couple of thoughts that I've had for the first week of being home. If you guys have any thoughts you wanna share, put them in the comments!

AI music threatens 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.
