Urban dictionary defines extra as being "over the top, excessive dramatic behavior". Being extra is basically going above and beyond, because you can and because you want to. I don't judge anyone for being extra, and I love taking opportunities to be extra when I can. Here's some ways you can be very extra in your daily life.

1. Saying that you are extra

Using the term 'extra' without a word following is in itself extremely extra. Using slang is annoying, yet fun. And don't lie, you use those stupid slang terms too.

2. Ordering a salad with dressing on the side

Making it extremely obvious that you are watching what you eat typically hints that you are trying too hard. But eat that salad anyway, being extra is fun.

3. Dressing up for class

I applaud girls (and guys) that show up to a college class dressed like they are ready for the bad. High heals, black jeans, and straightened hair-that kind of extra should be recognized.

4. Wearing or putting pink stuff everywhere

My entire car interior is hot pink, from the seat covers to the dice hanging on the mirror, and I love being extra with my very pink furry car.

5. Glitter and rhinestones

Overly using glitter or rhinestones (which is not possible in my opinion) is very extra and amazing.

6. Announcing a baby's gender with a huge party

Cute, yet so extra. It's not actually necessary, but it's fun and trendy and I'm guessing I'll have a gender reveal party when I have kids.

7. Walking around with a Starbucks drink

Anyone who gets drinks from Starbucks often is either rich or very extra. Their drinks are amazing though, and there's so much to choose from.

8. Taking selfies from every area of lighting in the room

We all take selfies in different lighting in the same room and then see which one looks the best.

9. Snap chatting someone who is sitting next to you

Sending funny filtered snapchats to a friend who is sitting across the table is super extra. It's unneeded but so need at the same time.

10. Dressing your children in name brand clothing

Children wearing uggs or Jordan's is super unneeded, however we can't deny, it's adorable and super extra.

11. Wearing a crown or sash on your birthday

It's your day and the entire city needs to know. How extra are you if you wear a crown when you get married?

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.
