I firmly believe that Chicago is the best sports city on earth. This year alone Chicago received two MVP Awards for Patrick Kane (Blackhawks) and Kris Bryant (Cubs), a Rookie of the Year Award for Artemi Panarin (Blackhawks), and ended the 108-year championship drought. The excitement is all over, and it's not just for the boys. Chicago sports girls are the best girls, and here are things we can all relate to.

1. Lola Bunny in "Space Jam" is the best Looney Toons character because she's a badass.

She got to play with Michael Jordan, enough said.

2. Even if you didn't like beer to start, you've learned to love it so you don't die of thirst.

3. Cute fan gear is as essential to your wardrobe as a good pair of jeans, black leggings, and an LBD.

4. You're just as loud, if not louder, than the guys when you're watching a game, and you can get a little confrontational.

5. You've heard "you're just a fake fan" so many times you just brush it off at this point.

6. Certain cuss words have become a staple to your vocabulary.

7. When someone asks if you're a Blues, Cardinals, Packers, Twins, or Heat fan.

That's worse than putting ketchup on your hot dog.

8. You've called your best friend the Kane to your Toews.

9. And the Rizzo to your Bryant.

10. You refer to at least one Chicago star athlete as your husband.

Jonathan Toews, if you're reading this please call me.

11. You have posted the lyrics of "Chelsea Dagger"as Instagram captions and you're not ashamed of it.

12. Overtime is stressful AF, yet so entertaining.

13. Since there are five teams in the four major sports here in Chicago, you're never bored.

14. Sometimes you spend more money on fan gears and tickets than you do on makeup.

15. You have an endless amount of hilarious memes at your disposal.

And there are many, many more.

16. You personally identify with Jason Segel's character in "Bad Teacher" from this one classic scene.

17. You have mastered the art of coherently arguing about the game while drunk.

18. You went through a phase where you actually thought this mullet was attractive.

And maybe you still do, I don't judge.

19. And you know exactly why I made this a list of 19.

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.
