If you're anything like me, you have a new disease every week. And having bad anxiety on top of that doesn't help at all. I'd like to consider myself the biggest hypochondriac in the world, but I'm sure there's a few of you out there who can relate. Here is just a glimpse of some of the thoughts that go through my head almost constantly (and maybe yours, too).

1. I have a headache.

2. Have I eaten anything yet today? Was it protein or junk food?

3. Yeah, I have definitely eaten pretty well today.

4. *Google's symptoms* .......Oh God. I have a brain tumor.

5. This is it. I'm dying.

6. I better start saying my goodbyes to my family and friends.

7. Maybe I'll go to the doctor's first to see if it's as bad as I think it is?

8. Calm down, it's literally just a simple headache. Everyone gets them.

9. *In the back of your mind* You're definitely not fine, you need to go see the doctor ASAP before it's too late.

10. Will I look dumb if I go to the doctors just for a headache?

11. Oh well, I don't care. My life is on the line here, people.

12. Actually, now I don't even notice a headache anymore. Must have not been anything serious after all!

13. *Next day*

14. Oh God... why does my stomach hurt all of a sudden?

15. Here we go again....


Although this is meant to be more of a comedic article, people who live like this to this severity are miserable a lot of the time. There's nothing more stressful than thinking you have a new disease every week, literally. To these people, it's not a joke. So next time we think we're dying, please bare with us and try to bring us back to reality.

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.
