11 Reasons Why The O.C was the Best Show
https://lauraehall2.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/badge-pen-tool-13/

Everyone talks about Gossip Girl but The O.C. was hands down the best show of our childhood. Here are 11 reasons why Newport Beach was your favorite place.

1. The Harbor School

They had a cappuccino bar in the middle of their lounge. Every after school activity imaginable. (I mean synchronized swimming?!?) It set my idea of high school way too high. Nothing will ever live up.

2. The fashion

Chanel, Dior, and the classic early 2000s Juicy Couture tracksuits. You wanted Marisa Cooper's closet and you idolized Summer Robbert's style. There was nothing that symbolized the early 2000s trends better than The O.C.

3. Those houses

The Cooper-Nickel house. Nothing else left to say because no house mattered after that.

4. Ryan Atwood

He was the rugged Knight in Shinning Armor that lives in your dreams come to life. He was always there for Marisa and deep down had a good heart, just a hard life kept people from seeing it.

5. Seth Cohen

In complete contrast to the rugged Ryan, we have geeky, nerdy Seth. Who's sarcasm was only matched by his father.

6. Sandy Cohen

Speaking of Sandy Cohen, who didn't want him as a dad? He had the snakiest comments for all the O.C's crazy things. Plus his love for Kristin was greater than any other.

7. Chrismukkah

The made up holiday we all love. The combination of two religions and holidays and Seth.

8. The relationships

Marisa and Ryan. Seth and Summer. Sandy and Kristen. The big three had more love than any other show on air.

9. The friendships

Besides love, the show had true friendships. Though we started out hating Summer, she proved to be the best friend Marisa had. The same goes for Seth. It showed the evolution of friendships in high school and made you wish you were apart of the original squad.

10. The family drama.

The Coopers made you love your family and the Cohens made you want to be in their family.

11. Finally, the music.

From the iconic theme song to the great bands that perform throughout the series, the music was a big part of the show. It was basically the epitome of the 00s.


So let me let Luke tell it best:

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.
