It is universally accepted that this political season was a mess.

We are all beyond over it. So now that it is now out of our control, let's stop the Facebook rants and get back to the things we all know and love. Here are 27 things I'd rather do than talk, think or write about politics.

1. Watch paint dry

2. Watch every documentary on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime

3. Clean up a park

4. Completely cover someone's car in post-it notes

5. Fill out all the immigration paperwork for Canada

6. Learn to cook a duck

7. Help retirees learn to tweet

8. Take up geocaching

9. Watch every rom-com I own, twice

10. Re-read old textbooks (or read them for the first time)

11. Watch infomercials

12. Start a blog about how much I love pickles

13. Read the Jane Austen collected works, over and over again

14. Sort laundry for my entire apartment complex

15. Start a pooper scooper business

Okay so maybe I've made my point, I would literally rather do ANYTHING else other than keep talking thinking or even breathing about anything even possibly politically related. I know it's important, but this year everyone has really gotten out of hand. So here are 13 more, less torturous things I'd rather do than talk, think, or write about politics.

16. Learn one amazing recipe from Chef Gordon Ramsey

17. Make some super cool Christmas decor

18. Color in the array of super cool adult coloring books

19. Catch up with Grey's Anatomy (2 more seasons to go!)

20. Make some homemade dog treats

21. Harry Potter Marathon, duh.

22. Google random google searches

23. Plan a super cool vacation that I'll never go on (Bora-Bora here I come!)

24. Go window shopping at the mall

25. Listen to a new playlist on Spotify

26. Arrange a book swap

27. Thank God that the election is over, and work on bringing all my friends back together

How else will I survive the countless hours of class time that I will be surfing the web during?!?!

Let's all just go back to regularly scheduled insta posts, funny tweets, and hilarious memes shall we? Also, we all need to know what you made for dinner, so don't forget to post that too, thanks!

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.
