12 Trends We Should Leave Behind in 2016
The Cochran Firm

1. Dad Hats

Are you even an Insta Pro if you don't have a Dad hat that says 'uh huh honey' or 'peachy' on it? Never seen those before.

2. Whip/Nay Nay

From elementary school choirs to families dancing together, let's leave this trashy song in 2016.

3. Excessive Highlighter

A subtle glow is great, but when you look like you've been sweating for three hours, you're doing it wrong.

4. Bandana Scarves

Is it a choker? Its it a scarf? Honestly the world may never know. Let's leave the old west behind for good in 2017.

5. Calvin Klein Underwear

Okay let's be real, these undies aren't even that cute. It's time to stop posting pictures of your underwear just because Kendall Jenner does.

6. Shoulder Cut Outs

The early 90's have returned and they shouldn't have. These cut outs are awkward and why would you want to show off your shoulders? It just doesn't make sense.

7. Harambe

It's time to let this gorilla internet sensation go. RIP Harambe 2016.

8. Mannequin Challenge

I really don't know why this became popular. Apparently, people enjoy staring at people who don't move. Glad this trend it over.

9. The Peach Emoji

We get it, you posted a picture of your butt on Instagram, there's no need to highlight that with a peach emoji.

10. Pokemon Go

I hope you caught a Pikachu while you could. It's time to throw away the poke balls and focus on more important things in life.

11. Damn Daniel

Back at it again with the white Vans. Let's hope he's not back at it in 2017.

12. Dabbing

Another pointless dance move. Quit being a dab, and stop dabbing.

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.
