1. You get butterflies every time you see them.

If you have ever been in love, you know this feeling. Every time you see your person or get a text from them, you get all excited inside and can't stop smiling.

2. You miss them as soon as they leave.

Let's be honest, if you have ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend, you know at some point you miss them as soon as they leave.

3. All their imperfections are perfections to you.

If you are really in love, you see past all of your significant other's flaws. Their flaws are perfect to you. Even if you are having the worst day and hate yourself, that is OK because your person loves you and adores you, even on your worst days.

4. The smallest things they do, seem so much greater because it is coming from them.

"Oh, babe, you bought me flowers?" Well, because it is coming from your person, it feels like they just bought you a car. THE LITTLE THINGS MEAN THE MOST.

5. You talk about your future TOGETHER (living together, getting married, etc.)

You definitely know that you are in love if you are talking about your future together with your bf/gf. That means that you want to be with them for a long time.

6. No matter the rough patches you experience together, you always see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Every couple fights and argues. But, if you are in love, you know that you will work through things and make it out of the rough patches.

7. You are best friends and are 100% comfortable with each other.

I don't know about you, but my boyfriend is my BFF. I am so comfortable around him and we can talk about anything. That is love. You trust your person with your life.

8. You don't dwell on each other's past, you worry about bettering one another's futures.

Everyone has a past, good or bad. If you are in love then you will see past each other's past and focus on each other's futures.

9. You take pride in having one another.

"Yessssss, that is my babe! Look at him shooting that basketball! I am so proud. Wow, I love him". You are DEFINITELY in love if you take pride in your significant other. You love them and everything that they do.

10. Sometimes you find yourself caring more about your significant other, then yourself.

Although this sounds silly, it is very true if you are in love. I catch myself thinking about my person and caring about them sometimes more than I care about myself. Sometimes it is OK to be like that, but make sure you are still remembering yourself!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
