It happens to the best of us. You're minding your own business and driving like a normal person on the highway and then you see it. Stopped cars as far as the eye can see. You were having such a good day until you had to spend an hour in traffic for no good reason. If you're anything like me, your thoughts probably go a little bit like this....

1. Brake-happy people have a special place in hell.

2. Why aren't you moving?! There's a mile of space in between you and the other car!

3. Man I wish I could use my AC without my car overheating during the summer!

4. Rubberneckers belong next to the brake-happy people in hell.

5. Maybe by some miracle, I'll get to work on time today.

6. Jesus, now would be a good time for you to come.

7. Maybe if I stay at work until after 6 p.m., I'll avoid traffic.

8. It's been 30 minutes and I've moved 2 miles. This is why America is falling apart.

9. Yes, my lane is moving! Good job guys! Teamwork! Let's go! No, don't stop! Why are we slowing down again? NO!

10. LEARN HOW TO MERGE WITHOUT STOPPING!!

11. Obviously you didn't buy the turn signal package when you bought your car, did you?

12. Why...whyyyyyy.....Why are you slowing DOWN?!?

13. I'm so glad you discovered your blinker, but I'm not letting you over.

14. Does my dog count as a second passenger so I can use the HOV lane?

15. Oh no you don't, minivan. I've been waiting to exit for 15 minutes, you get in line and wait like the rest of us.

16. Why are you in the fast lane if you're going to go under the speed limit?

17. For the love of Pete people, it's just a car stopped on the side of the highway. GO!

18. Oh yes, of course I left space in between me and the car in front of me just so your monstrosity of an SUV could merge in front of me. You're welcome.

19. Stop. Riding. Your. Brakes.

20. Just gotta make it past exit 102 and I can finally go over ten mph.

21. This is why people become hermits.

22. Do people know how to take a turn going more than 20 mph?!? STOP SLOWING DOWN!

23. Get off your phone, "Daddy's Little Angel" or you'll become a real one in about five seconds.

24. Why is a freaking semi in the fast lane?

25. At least my calves are getting a good workout.

26. LET ME GET OVER, JERK!

27. There was traffic because of THAT?!?

28. I'm moving to Antarctica.

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.
