You don't need me to tell you that periods suck, but, in case you forgot, they so do. It would be grand if our boyfriends showed a little support, am I right? Listen up, boys, here are 10 things we all wish our boyfriends would do for us when we're on our periods:

1) Buy tampons.

I know this is uncomfortable for you, but please. I need them so badly.

2) Buy chocolate

All the feels about everything in life are stressing me out. Chocolate is like instant medicine. It makes everything better.

3) Buy bananas.

According to healwithfood.org, bananas may help reduce cramps associated with menstruation. Yes, please.

4) Bring me Ibuprofen and some water.

When I realize that the bananas aren't reducing my cramps fast enough, please get me some good, old fashion pain meds. I feel better already.

5) Make me food.

I'm starving and crampy and grumpy and pleaseeee just make me a grilled cheese.

6) Shower me in compliments.

Although I would never admit it, I am very, very sensitive right now. Please shower me in compliments because you don't understand how bloated and ugly I feel right now.

7) Reassure me that everything will be OK.

Worries amplify tenfold when you're on your period. When I'm freaking out, please reassure me I'll be alright.

8) Let me yell at you for no reason.

This is not fair to you in any way, but it would be great if you'd let me yell at you about anything I feel like. I apologize in advance.

9) Stay with me and cuddle for hours.

I know I'm asking for a ton of favors, but I'm going through a lot right now, OK?

10) All of these things. Over and over again.

Just until I stop dying.

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.
