If you live in New York City or in the surrounding area then you've probably hoped on the "6" train, also known as the green line. If you live on the East side of Manhattan, Upper East Side, East Harlem, or the Bronx, then you known exactly which train I'm talking about. The "6" train goes along the East side of the city, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Pelham Bay Park. this train is notorious for being late, having ridiculous long wait times, and suddenly becoming express in the middle of the route. If you live,work, and go to school on the East side, like me, then the trek and ride on "6" is truly a daily struggle.


1. Ugh, do I just want to walk the twenty blocks or take the two stops on the train?

2. It's raining...train it is.

3. Swipe...Swipe...why the hell aren't you swiping. My monthly lasts till the end of the day!?

4. Why is it so damn hot down here, it's like winter above ground?

5. Shit.. the train is here ( starts full on sprinting through the station)

6. Welp, just shut my arm in the door and still missed it.

7. Can I sue the city of New York for having a personal injury from a subway door?

8. They don't need to shut that fast or be that heavy...seems unnecessary.

9. Eleven minutes till the next "6"?! Who has that kind of time... it's a Thursday morning?!

*Eleven minutes later (feels like eleven years)

10. Finally... and there's about 6 billion people on this train.

11. Let me just squeeze myself in here...

12. Okay, this kid is stabbing me with his toy while his mom's backpack is just slowly crushing my foot.

13. I have to pee.

14. I wonder how disgusting a bathroom on a subway would be...

15. Oh my god. how have we not stopped yet.


16. I wonder how many people have touched this pole today. Excuse me sir, please don't touch me...

17. I wonder if being a stripper on the subway would be a good business idea?

18. Great, here comes a huge mass of people that are not going to let other's out first.

19. Oh look at that, a rat eating another rat. Nature is beautiful.

20. Now let's watch as people attack the subway seats like a pack of lions on a dead zebra carcass

21. THE HEAVEN GATES HAVE OPENED (aka it's my stop)

22. Okay let's just violently shove me off out of the subway car.

23. I feel like we look like herd of cattle when we all gather around the platform steps

24. I can see the light!

25. Ugh, fresh air, thank you world.

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.
