13 Reasons To Love Paul Walker, Forever
Universal Pictures

It wasn't the "Fast and Furious" franchise that introduced me to this amazing man, it was a Disney movie called "Eight Below." I was drawn in by those eyes, and the love he had for animals, just like me. I fell for Paul Walker, and I fell hard. I watched the entire "Fast and Furious" franchise in one week this summer and regretted not watching them earlier. You can just see the love this man had for not just cars, but his familia, his castmates, and life. Paul didn't look back, he raced through life with his eyes wide open and heart full of love to give to anyone he met. Paul Walker is an inspiration to me, from his passion for marine biology (I am passionate about wildlife biology) to his love for friends and family, and of course, a slick fast car.

While my Volvo can't compare to the vehicles Paul drove, I like to imagine myself at the starting line ready for a race with him. I hope to model myself in his image. To be kind to others and take nothing but a hug in return. I will never look back and enjoy the ride that we call this crazy life. Here are just a small amount of the many things I love about Paul Walker that I hope you come to love too.

1. His signature, dreamy blue eyes

2. His passion for marine biology, which he majored in while attending community college (he had a soft spot for sharks)

3. His ability to kick butt off screen with jiu-jitsu, which he had a brown belt in

4. That smile. I'm a sucker for it every time.

5. His adoration for our four-legged friends, which is highlighted in the film "Eight Below"

6. Just listen to and watch the video for "See You Again"... enough said

7. The bond he shared with his castmates was #goals

8. Vin Diesel named his daughter Pauline after his cherished best friend in 2015 after his death

9. Paul loved to surf and did so avidly at his home in California. Who doesn't love a surfer?

10. He formed a charity called "Reach Out Worldwide" to help those affected by natural disaster

11. Paul loved to travel, and went to places like Fiji and Costa Rica

12. Paul set standards for how all men should treat women through his relationship as Brian with Mia

13. His humble, loving soul made a mark on everyone he knew, as well as the millions of fans he touched throughout his films

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
