We all know the songs. The ones played at every single wedding. The ones that are meant to be cute but are just so overused it makes you cringe. Did your "favorite" make the list?

1. "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes

You know what I wanted as a wedding guest? Another song.

2. "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri

This song just makes me think of the Twilight series wedding scene. So if you want to be compared to Edward Cullen and Bella Swan in guests' brains, this is a good option.

3. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran

Want to have the most basic wedding of the year? Use this one. Everyone has been using it for every wedding... since 2014.

4. "Marry You" by Bruno Mars

Unless you are getting married on a whim, in which case you wouldn't really have a wedding song, please just don't. Your guests beg of you.

5. "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias

While this song is a great guilty pleasure song, it isn't the best choice for a wedding. The whispery lyrics are pretty cringeworthy.

6. "Marry Me" by Train

This song is basically just Pat Monahan soulfully singing "marry me" over and over, which to wedding guests is the equivalent of "shoot me."

7. "I Do" by Colbie Caillat

You can't even really slow dance to it? It's a very weird tempo. Also, it just reminds me of the Letters to Juliet soundtrack, and I'm not sure it's a good thing.

8. "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz

Some people hate, hate, hate this song at weddings. Me included.

9. "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele

I love Adele, but anything Adele is usually overplayed. Enough said.

10. "More Than Words" by Extreme

This throwback from the 1990s is still used in weddings. Why? I don't know. 90s hair metal should not be a part of your wedding, especially the couple's dance.

11. "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons

Again, just like "I Do" how do you really dance to this? Slow dancing looks awkward. Also, the audience is most likely going to start singing along and starting a weird karaoke thing during your dance.

12. "Endless Love" by Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross

This is the true classic, although it should probably never be used again. Not only is Mariah Carey kind of cringey-worthy but the lyrics are strange. If you are going to use this one, do the original.

For anyone who used one of these, the only question I can ask is, what were you thinking?

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.
