How I Met Your Mother is one of my favorite shows ever (well, it's one of my favorite shows ever when I ignore the fact that the series finale exists). I watch reruns when I'm sad or sick, too bored or too tired, and every time, I fall in love with the show again. I love the ridiculous stories, the long-running bits, and the inside jokes that the group has. The semester is long and life can sometimes be hard, so here's some advice from the HIMYM gang to get you through.

1. "Any decision you make after 2 AM is not a good one." - Ted, Episode 1.18

2. "Everyone comes with baggage. Find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack." - Ted, Episode 5.23

3. "If you're not scared, then you're not taking a chance. If you're not taking a chance, then what the hell are you doing anyway?" -Ted, Episode 5.1

4. "So really the biggest mistake would be not to make that mistake because then you’ll go your whole life not knowing if something was a mistake or not." -Lily, Episode 1.21

5. "If you keep giving up on people so quickly, you’re gonna miss out on something great." -Robin, Episode 1.8

6. "Look, you can’t design your life like a building. It doesn’t work that way. You just have to live it… and it’ll design itself." -Lily, Episode 4.24

7. "There are a lot of little reasons why the big things in our lives happen." -Ted, Episode 4.22

8. "Because sometimes even if you know how something’s gonna end that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the ride." -Ted, Episode 2.14

9. "That’s life, you know, we never end up where you thought you wanted to be." -Marshall, Episode 3.17

10. "You can’t just skip ahead to where you think your life should be." -Lily, Episode 5.20

11. "The future is scary, but you can't just run back to the past because it's familiar. Yes, it's tempting, but it's a mistake." -Robin and Barney, Episode 6.24

12. "Sometimes we search for one thing but discover another." -Barney, Episode 3.14

13. "Whatever you do in this life, it's not legendary unless your friends are there to see it." -Barney, Episode 9.17

So go out into the world! Do your best on your midterms and beyond. And whatever happens, just remember...it can't be worse than the HIMYM series finale.

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.
