10 Things To Never Settle for.
Marisa Salazar

Life is too short to settle for half-a**ed people, opportunities, and things that do not make you happy. You have one life, one chance, to do everything you have ever wanted! What is stopping you? Here are 10 things you should never settle for:

1. Crappy boys.

There are a million of different guys out there. When a crappy guy tells you that you will never find someone like him, believe it. You will find someone way better. I promise. You deserve a king for your queen-self.


2. Crappy coffee.

You spend too much on that bean for it to not be perfect and to your liking.


3. Crappy girls.

This goes for girls and guys. Girls are evil human beings, we know that. Don’t let girls ruin your happiness because of jealousy or because they like to play with your mind. Guys, you deserve a girl who treats you like a king but keeps you in your place.


4. Crappy jobs.

Jobs are supposed to be enjoyable. I mean, you spend most of your life there so you better find something you love. And if you get tired of it, leave. There are other jobs out there.


5. To stay in one place.

DO NOT LIVE IN THE SAME PLACE FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!!! You are young! (No matter what your age number is, YOU ARE YOUNG!!)


6. Not traveling

Travel. The world is your backyard! Don’t stay in your room your entire life!


7. Not take risks.

If you don’t take risks you are boring. Run that half marathon. Kiss that person. Bungee jump!


8. Negative people.

Your mental health is more important than their thoughts of you.


9. Dead beat family members.

Family is “suppose” to be there for you no matter what. You’re blood, right? No. If they treat you bad, you do not need them in your life. You can make your own family with friends.



10. Crappy Friends

People who backstab you are not your friends.


Please do not settle for anything less than you deserve. You are a Queen or King and you deserve the world, darling.

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.

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.
