10 Thoughts You Have While Packing
The Huffington Post

It's two hours before you have to leave your house to the airport. Of course as the procrastinator you are, you left all of your packing to do at the last minute. Traveling anxiety is a real thing, and we've all been there. Here's some thoughts that might run through your head as you semi-pack/semi-panic for that trip you were (or were not) really looking forward to.


1. *throws every piece of clothing you own on your bed*
I have absolutely nothing to wear.


2. Well, sweats and sweatshirts it is, no need to look presentable.


3. Actually, why not just bring my entire wardrobe with me, that wouldn't hurt right.


4. *attempts to close the suitcase* Just kidding.


5. Is it logical that I'm bringing five pairs of shoes for a ten-day trip? Sure it is.


6. Let me turn on some music. *in the process, ends up spending half an hour on social media*


7. Oops. So where was I? Oh yeah, leaving in an hour.


8. But most importantly: Snacks. Can't forget those.


9. Wait but even MORE importantly: chargers. Can't believe I almost forgot those.


10. *15 minutes late in leaving the house* I can't do this anymore. If I forgot anything, oh well.

(Ended up that right before you board the flight, you realize that you forgot to pack your toiletries.)

HAPPY TRAVELING!

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.
