4. Things that are so ugly that they're cute

5. How we got all the good TV shows (have you tuned into disney now???????? tragic.)

6. The fact that McDonald's never has soft serve

7. Why you always want Chik-Fil-A on Sundays

8. The golden era of our lives (I'm talkin' Webkinz & Silly Bandz era)

9. Why dogs are better than cats


10. Why cats are better than dogs


11. Animals wearing clothes


12. Those birds that always end up inside garages


13. Is Kentucky Fried Chicken even Kentucky Fried outside of Kentucky?

14. Doors that aren't labeled push or pull (cruel.)

21. Who the hell is behind the Old Spice commercials?

22. Why do we bless people for sneezing?

23. Jell-o shots (nobody wants to experience a shot any longer than necessary.... so extra burn and extra calories... prime)

24. Your favorite joke (What do you call a nosey pepper? ... Jalapeño business)

25. How stupid jokes are the best jokes (Why can't a nose be 12 inches long? ... because then it'd be a foot)

26. The first time you got cake shoved in your face (my 8th birthday party and I cried)

27. Whoever thought to mash up a nut and mix it with a mashed up fruit (PBJ)

28. Why sporks are easily the Zeus of utensils and extremely underrated

29. Doodle jump (ho yah, you remember it)

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.
