10 Things You Can Do Instead of Stress

1. Watch this compilation of The Office Bloopers.

2. Use Google "I'm feeling lucky" and search "puppy pictures".

You're welcome.

3. Find a perfect Pinterest craft and actually do it this time.

You know there's been a craft on your mind for months that you just can't find the time for. Make the time and let out some bad vibes through that canvas.

4. Take a mental health day.

Your professor may not agree with me but mental health days are necessary. Take one and you'll see what I mean.

5. Buy a Lush bath bomb and take a bath.

They aren't going to be overrated when you are finally stress free. Pro Tip: Don't buy any of the bombs completely covered in silver glitter, you can thank me later.

6. Have a dance party in the middle of your room, Meredith Grey style.

Try it, I dare you. It may just stick and you'll be doing it for the next 15 years to come.

7. Go online shopping.

This one is pretty dangerous but we all know it helps so I had to include it. Just don't spend your rent money and you'll be fine.

8. Play games on Sporcle.com.

This website is dangerously addicting. Soon you won't remember what you were stressing about.

9. Keep calm and text your best friend to have a wine and Netflix night.

It's what they're there for, and if they're really your best friend they will also let you pick the show.

10. Look up inspiring quotes and put them on sticky notes around your house.

If you put them around your house other people will benefit from them also. Here's a start: "Be so good they can't ignore you." "Don't stress. Do your very best. Appreciate each step. Forget the rest." "Never let anyone treat you like a yellow Starburst; you are a pink Starburst."

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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

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.

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.
