Now don't get me wrong, I'll be voting this fall. I believe that it's my public duty as an American to vote! But when it's the first time I'm even able to vote and my choices are either Mr. Crazy or Mrs. Corrupt, I'd really like to take a hard pass. So just for fun, here are ten things I'd rather do than vote this election season:

1. Join the circus.


You've got to admit, it'd be pretty cool to travel the world with a bunch of other people who have chosen an alternative lifestyle!


2. Go skydiving.


Good thing I'm not afraid of heights!


3. Eat a whole chocolate cake.


Remember Bruce Bogtrotter from "Matilda"? Oh yeah, it's going down.


4. Build a fort.


Forts work for any situation. Babysitting kids? Build a fort. Studying for finals? Build a fort. Don't want to vote? Build a fort and hide inside.


5. Live in my bed.


I practically stay in my bed all day anyway.


6. Play board games.


I love board games! My sister won't play chess with me anymore because I beat her every time. Sorry sis.


7. Binge watch all six seasons of "Lost."


4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. If you don't know this reference, you need to watch LOST!


8. Take a BuzzFeed quiz (or all of them).


"Can You Help Plankton Steal The Krabby Patty Secret Formula?" Why yes, BuzzFeed. Yes I can.


9. Daydream about my study abroad days in Paris.


So how many banana Nutella crepes do you think I can stuff in my mouth at once..?


10. Have a bonfire with my best friends.


Because no year is complete without a bonfire! Or five of them..

There you have it! And yet after all of these things, I will still be voting this election season. So get out there and vote! It's your duty.

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.
