25 Things I Would Rather Do Than To Listen To Someone Smacking

Over the years I have self-diagnosed myself with misophonia, which is a condition in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. One of the worst to me is to listen to people chew or smack, which is why this article is dedicated to things that I would rather do than to listen to someone smack. If anyone knows me, they know that all of these are so very true!

1. Get my braces back on in college

2. Never eat Chick Fil A again

3. Run a marathon for fun

4. Delete every form of social media

5. Sit in Baton Rouge traffic for hours

6. Live in a dorm room for the rest of my life

7. Punch myself in the face 1,000 times

8. Fail a class (Sorry Mom)

9. Have Facebook remind me of an old ex

10. Lose every pair of matching socks (Cue the OCD)

11. Burn my favorite sweatshirt

12. Take Accounting every semester

13. Crack my iPhone every time I dropped it

14. Go to the dentist

15. Gain the Freshman 15 every year

16. Never watch Netflix again

17. Take the ACT every Saturday

18. Fold a huge stack of clothes

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.

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.
