Reminder: Mother’s Day is this Sunday! So, everyone make sure to go get your mother a present and to remind her how much you love her! Here are a couple gift ideas for those of you who have procrastinated on shopping for your mom.

1. Wine

The number one thing that helps every mother deal with their child.

2. Pajamas

I am not sure why moms like PJs so much, but every year my brothers and I get my mom a cute, patterned pajama set and she loves them.

3. Coupon books

Help your mother save the money that she is probably going to end up spending on you anyways!

4. Flowers

Every girl loves flowers. End of story.

5. Jewelry

Even cheap, signature jewelry pieces are a great gift. A necklace or big earrings always spice up an outfit.

6. Coffee cups

I am all about the personalized coffee cups. If you use Shutterfly or go to Walgreen's, nothing screams “I love you” like a coffee cup with your face on it.

7. Athletic wear

Moms always love to wear athletic gear. My mom is super into tennis, so my brothers and I always get her a new tennis skirt.

8. Home cooked meal

My mother hates cooking, so if I volunteered to cook, I think she would feel like she died and went to heaven. However, make sure that you clean up afterwards!

9. Perfume

Keep mama smelling fine.

10. One day of mother’s choice activities

Whether its taking the dogs for a walk or going on a picnic or bike ride, let your mother choose something to do for the day and keep her company! (Mom - this does not mean I am doing the 17 mile bike ride with you though. I love you, but there is no way I am biking 17 miles… ever.)

11. Chocolate

I most definitely recommend See’s Candies.

12. Pictures

Again, remind your mother of how much you love her by giving her a picture of your face.

13. Books

Moms love reading those Nicholas Sparks books.

14. Candles

I don’t think I have ever bought my mom a candle, but apparently my roommate’s mother loves them.

15. Bath and body products

I’ve never heard of a mom that doesn't love all those bath suds and smelly lotions.

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.
