So, you want to be a teacher? Well, then I definitely suggest becoming a substitute teacher while you're going to school. You will find out very quickly if this is the profession you want to invest your time and money in. This is for all my fellow subs out there!

1. I don’t get paid enough for this.

2. These kids are way too crazy for me today.

3. Oh great, that one kid is in this class.

4. Is it lunch time yet?

5. Oh good, this is their conference period.


6. Who do I sit with at lunch?

7. I wasn’t that bad when I was their age.


8. Elementary school? No thank you.

9. It’s 5:30 in the morning, why is my phone ringing?

10. These kids cuss too much.

11. I should have brought snacks.

12. Crap, How do I pronounce this name?

13. Crap, where’s the sub folder?

14. I really want to send this kid to the office.

15. I really don’t want to do the paperwork to send this kid to the office.

16. Please just do your work and leave me alone.

17. No, you don’t get my life story.

18. (In a grocery store or something) crap is that a student?

19. I just want to wear sweats to work.

20. I’m subbing for a coach?! I get to wear sweats to work!

21. Should they be talking this much?

22. Why do teachers leave things on google classroom, the kids never do it.

23. Why didn’t they leave it on google classroom, I don’t feel like dealing with this today.

24. I want to be a teacher.

25. I quit!

26. I love my job.

27.These kids think life is hard now, just wait.

28. Drama!!

29. No, I don't want to work today.

30. Is it 3:45 yet?

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.

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.
