10 Emojis Your Parents Always Use Wrong

1. The Winky Face:

To all the clueless parents out there, winky faces are NOT just a cute thing you can send. You know who people send the winky face to? People they wanna bang. I will admit, this applies more the original non-emoji winky face. However, the connotation is still there people!


2. The Heart Eyes:

Ok Mom, I know you love these but they must be used sparingly. The heart eyes are a reaction to something awesome or cute or amazing! Writing, "Are you gonna be home for dinner *insert emoji here* ?" is not the right context!

3. Nature Emojis:

I don't personally have this issue, but I have multiple friends whose fathers put nature/weather emojis in ordinary conversations. Sorry pops, but the tidal wave has nothing to do with whether I took out the garbage.

4. The 100 Sign:

Ok, I know this is very pop culture, but the 100 sign is NOT to be used at random intervals! WHY do parents use this randomly? WHY?

5. Heart(s):

Moms/Aunts/Grandmas love everything. I know you do. You love all my social media, and I appreciate that. But it's okay to not use five hearts though, alright?

6. Peace Sign:

No, this does not mean number two.

7. Confetti:

Again, with the loving everything. I know you're really excited about whatever we're discussing, but the confetti is NOT for when you fill up the gas tank.

8. "Praise" Hands:

No, no the hands aren't throwing anything or pushing anything up.

9. Praying Hands:

Again, not actual prayer. The whole "praise" and "bless" thing is generational, but I promise these emojis aren't as literal as you think!

10. Tongue:

GOD NO MOM PLEASE DON'T USE THAT EW.

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.
