Pure confusion goes on in my brain when someone brings numbers into absolutely anything. I usually joke with my mom and tell her I inherited her bad math genes. My father and my brother are a completely different story. You can give them a complicated equation and they will figure it out in no time, unlike me where I struggle with a long division problem. Some people just get it and others like me have absolutely no idea what is going on during a math class. It does not matter whether it is basic math or really complicated, whenever numbers are involved, I go blank; I see no possible answer.

When I was little I used to get frustrated because I did not understand it, but now I have learned to embrace my bad math skills and just deal with the fact that I will never have that little light bulb light up when it comes to a math problem. So for all those non-math lovers, just embrace your weakness; we probably have a way better time in math class than those who actually get it, because for them the answer is always so simple, but for us it is always a mystery that needs to be solved. Here are some thoughts all of us non math lovers have during a math class:

1. When am I ever going to use this in my life?!


2. How did you get that answer?


3. Let me just answer this text, I'm sure it won't get that much more complicated...


4. Am I the only one not understanding this?



5. Stop looking so confused, act like you get it

6. Why are there so many letters involved?

7. How long is this class? Has it only been five minutes since it started?

8. I am definitely going to fail


9. This is a foreign language


10. Maybe if I just stare closely at my book I will get the answer


11. How can people get answers without using their fingers to count?


12. I give up


13. Wait, I THINK I GET IT!


14. LOL, never mind, no I don't

This semester I take my last math class ever and I could not be any happier because I never have and never will understand math; it is just not for me. I'm sure many of you non-math lover can relate to these thoughts but like I said before, embrace this weakness, I'm sure we have way more fun!

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.
