I mean yeah, there's a lot of corn but it's not ALL corn.

10 Things You Learn After Leaving Ohio For College

1. Your New Jersey friends don’t pump their own gas.

Gas attendant? What’s that? You really don’t know how to pump gas? (Some do, in their defense).

2. You have a hard time explaining the type of people who live in Ohio

There are Amish people, Mormons, hillbillies…you name it and there’s someone like that in Ohio.

3. People actually give a damn about the whole state of Michigan.

I mean, I still don’t give a damn, but I guess some people do…it’s a weird experience, to be honest.

4. It doesn’t snow like it does in Cleveland.

For some reason, I thought that when I went to Delaware the weather would be like Cleveland, really snowy. But, I guess the 60 degree weather we had last week is okay too.


5. You have to tell people there’s more to Ohio than just corn

I mean, yeah, there is a lot of corn but like it’s not ALL corn.


6. There are people who don’t like Cleveland Sports.

Personally, I was shocked that there are people out there who don’t like the Cavs or the Indians or the Browns..I mean how weird is that?


7. You learn to take more pride in all the great things that come from Ohio.

From Lebron to Harambe, you constantly feel like you’re defending the great state of Ohio, even though no one really cares.

8. You will constantly have to explain why you left Ohio

Yes, I know I could’ve gone to THE Ohio State University, but I didn’t want to.

9. You will always love OSU football more than your school’s football team.

To be honest, my school’s football team sucks... like a lot. So I just root for OSU instead.


10. You miss Ohio more than you thought possible

Yeah, I love my school but there’s nothing quite like Ohio..corn fields and all.

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.
