10 Things You Didn't Know Google Could Do

1. Google's Christmas background

Type in "Christmas" in the search bar and your background will reveal a Christmas treat!

2. Make Google do a flip

Search "do a barrel roll" on Google and have fun watching it do a cartwheel. You could also make Google "tilt" or "askew".

3. Ask Google to choose your meal for today


Indecisive? Struggling with a diet? Then have no fear for Google is here! Type in two foods of your choice into the search bar and Google will help you make a healthier choice by comparing the foods' calories.

4. Gravity

5. Google can tell you the answer to life

Apparently, it's the number 42. Thanks Google—my life makes a whole lot of sense now.

6. Enjoy a game a Pacman

Google's collection of doodles include the fun and nostalgic game of Pacman.


7. Dan the Dinosaur

Google has the just the solution for those who are at locations or in situations where they can't connect to the internet—a simple yet intriguing dinosaur game! Use the arrow keys to avoid the cacti and other obstacles.

8. Searching by image

I've used this a couple of times after I knew it existed. It's really helpful in situations where you have an image but need to go the site.

9. Google got more grooves than you

Actually, this one doesn't really count because it only worked when the Harlem Shake was popular—but I thought it was really dope.

10. Have fun BUILDING with Chrome

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.
