10 Signs You're Going Through Vacation Withdrawals

1. You constantly relive your trip through the photos you captured.

Sorry not sorry for the extensive Instagram vacation feed.

2. You immediately start planning your next trip.

Doesn't matter if you've only been home for a day, nothing is stopping you from researching and planning your next adventure.

3. A part of you dies when your sun-kissed tan starts to fade.

Yes, the tans will fade and memories will last forever, but there's nothing more upsetting than watching what's left of your vacation fade right before your eyes.

4. You have a hard time wearing anything but your vacation clothes.

Especially when you return home to a Midwest winter. No, I do not want to bundle up in boots, a jacket and hat. I would much rather be in the freedom of flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt.

5. You constantly remind yourself of how just a short time ago your only cares in the world were the sun, the beach and fun.

This one really hurts when you're back to school or work.

6. You want to hear every detail of the trips your friends went on.

Especially if they visited the same or similar places. Give me all the details, let's talk all things travel.

7. You recreate the drinks or meals you had on vacation.

No shame in going to the store to buy all the ingredients you need to make your favorite tropical exotic drink.

8. The only thought that excites you is returning back to paradise.

You don't want to hear about any plans unless it involves packing a bag, boarding a flight and returning to your favorite destination.

9. You vicariously live through other people's travel photos.

Travel hashtags and travel blogs quickly become your best friend. If you can't travel at the moment, might as well dream about it through other people's exploration. It's also a great way to make notes and get tips for planning your next vacation.

10. You dream of how you could become a travel blogger and permanently vacay for a living.

Because after all, some of your photos are pretty darn great and you would love to spend the rest of your days seeing the world, chasing paradise, discovering endless adventure and documenting your experiences.

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.

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.
