I think we can all remember those days in middle school when keeping up with our Facebook profiles was the cool thing to do. As I look back, I can't help but laugh, and feel ashamed at a majority of the things I did on Facebook. I'm writing this to remind all of you of eleven of the major embarrassments of our middle school days and they all start with Facebook.

1. No matter what you did or what happened you had to post a Facebook status about it.

I didn't even get likes, but hey at least everyone knew my every move.

2. You had a poke war with everyone including your grandma.


And there was nothing more embarrassing than losing a poke war.

3. You added one of those weird photos with descriptions of something and tagged your friends in which ever one you thought described them best.


This was the core of middle school drama because if someone didn't get tagged in the one they wanted, it was the end of the world.

4. Farmville.


If your farm wasn't huge, you weren't cool.

5. Listing your friends as your sister, mom, grandpa, etc...

My best friend was listed as my grandpa, my other best friend as my mom, and my other best friend as my uncle.

6. Adding a selfie and thinking it looked good.

And then looking back and realizing it wasn't cute at all.

7. Capitalizing random letters in each word.


Because we had to find a way to spice up our wall posts.

8. Picnik.


There was no greater satisfaction than creating a masterpiece with your favorite quote on Picnik.

9. Spending hours 'Becoming a Fan' of everything.

I don't know why it was such a big deal to become a fan of literally everything, but I know we all regret it now because they all pop up on our Facebook page today with stupid posts.

10. Like for a truth is or TBH.


Posting a truth is status after school and then posting a bunch of nonsense like, "You're so nice!! I wish we talked more!!"

11. Facebook Flair Board.

I had to make sure my Facebook Flair Board was completely filled at all times.

12. Being a part of a bunch of random groups with your friends that are all titled weird.

Being a part of these with my fellow classmates for absolutely no reason at all.

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.
