15 Questions You Ask During the Summer
psd401

I am a high school student, so summer to me consists of nothing but relaxing. Because I have so much free time, I tend to ask a lot of questions.

1. Should I start working out? I guess I don’t have anything else to do; my excuse was always that I was too busy. I'll start tomorrow!

2. Is it really that important to wear sunscreen? I don’t even burn and the tan lines will go away eventually, right? Wrong.

3. Should I call ____? We haven’t hung out in a long time and I kind of miss not seeing them everyday at school. I’ll just text them later.

4. What time is it? 7 AM? 8 PM? 2:30 AM? I have no idea, my phone is on the other side of the room.

5. Crap! Did I tell _____ that I would meet them at the mall today? I mean we were at a party and it was 2 AM, so did the plans really count?

6. What day is it? Saturday? Monday? Thursday? Anybody else know?

7. Is it possible to teach myself French? Maybe Italian? I want to be multilingual now, and high school Spanish is not cutting it.

8. What show should I start watching? *scrolls through Netflix for 12 hours*

9. Am I really hungry or am I just bored? Hungry, I’m definitely hungry. No, I was bored.

10. How do I get rid of tan lines? Is it even possible to get rid of tan lines? How can I wear this backless dress with those horrible racerback tan lines?

11. Who will take me on an adventure? I want to go hiking somewhere. I want to stargaze. Actually though, let's do something spontaneous.

12. Am I smart enough to discover something scientific right now? I’ll go digging in my backyard and maybe I will find the fossils of a new kind of dinosaur. Ooh! I'll dissect this dead bird and figure out how to make myself wings to fly! I'll start tomorrow, or something.

13. Should I write a book? Yeah, I’ll write a book about finding yourself and learning to love who you are. Wait, have I found myself? Do I love myself? *has a crisis*

14. Should I get a job? I mean it will look good on resumés. Sigh, I guess I’ll start looking tomorrow.

15. How is it July already? I swear we got out of school yesterday.

I really hope I’m not the only who asks these questions on a daily basis during the summer!

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.
