11 Reasons To Own A Polaroid Camera
Madison Brazier

Polaroids are fun in the moment cameras that can set aside the regular print off photos anyone can get. Buying film and having to put the photos together yourself makes you appreciate the experience more, so here are some reasons to invest in a Polaroid camera.

1. Making Memories

Your unique camera is always there to document the events of your life, with a one-of-a-kind photo that can never be replicated, so don't lose it!

2. It's Retro

Vintage and retro are so in. Your totes have to be in too, obviously.

3. It's Trendy

Buy the camera to use your phone to take cute trendy Instagram pics of your Polaroid picture, it's the latest trend!

4. Celebrities Do It

And if they do it you have to. I'm sure Kim Kardashian will come out with her own brand soon for you to buy.

5. You're a 90s Child

We were on the tail end of the Polaroid movement and having the chance to bring it back into style is the chance of your lifetime. This is the only thing you will have to look forward too anytime soon, so hop on the bandwagon.

6. To Be Unique

Because you're the leader of trends and nobody's done Polaroids since, like, the 80s.

7. Cute Decor

Time to break out those YouTube DIY's so you can get even more crafty with your adorable photos.

8. Give Presents

They're a novelty and presenting them as little presents to your family members at the holidays or birthdays is a great way to refresh their memories of the good ol' times. Just be prepared to hear the hours long stories about those times.

9. DIY

Everything today is DIY, to save money or for the love of crafting, so why not your own DIY photos?

10. One-of-a-kind

So what it's trendy and tons of people are doing it? No one photo is the same and you picture can never be replicated or copied.

11. It's sooooo easy for travel

On the go for a night out? How about a trip to Europe? It's no lie that a camera is big and clunky, but take it anywhere! It could fit into any small clutch for your excursions.

So go out and get one of these novelty devices today to improve the quality of your relationships, life and overall experiences.

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.
