12 Thoughts You Have When Social Media-ing

In today's world if you're not on social media, you're rare and at the very least, if you don't have a Facebook, you are almost unheard of. Almost everything runs through the Internet, whether it's email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat, the Internet is a thriving place and it is where it's all at. So, naturally we all have those thoughts that run through our heads every now and then when we're bouncing between apps and keeping updated on world news and other people's lives.


1. I wonder how many people have stalked my Facebook.



2. Do people actually read all of my tweets?



3. Has anyone *almost* liked any of my Instagram photos from two years ago?



4. How many of my Tinder matches see me in person?



5. How are people so dumb?



6. BuzzFeed is such a great source. There is no need for real news.



7. Do people watch my Snapchat story or just click through it?...



8. I wish I could see all the traitors who see my pictures and don't like them.



9. People are stupid.




10. Can you not?



11. Thanks for updating me on every second of your life... I was looking forward to hear about the sandwich you had for lunch.



12. How the F did I just waste three hours on YouTube?


Let's be honest with ourselves, we have all stalked someone on Facebook and we have all almost had a heart attack from almost liking someone's photo from two years ago. We all skip a good amount of Snapchat stories and we all pick and choose the tweets we read. And on a real note -- some people on social media have seen brighter moments, sometimes you just have to ask yourself, "Should I actually share this with the world?" Because if you have to ask yourself then you probably shouldn't. Let's get it together people.

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.

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.
