My friend (hopefully jokingly) asked me one day, "What do you even do since you don't have a boyfriend?"

So I decided to answer the question, here is a list of ideas for those who don't have boyfriends.

1. Read

2. Run

3. Workout

4. Write

5. Hangout with your friends

6. Learn a new instrument

7. Get a pet

8. Go for a hike

9. Explore poetry

10. Become a food critic (on your own of course)

11. Get your nails done

12. Dance

13. Explore the touristy activities in your area

14. Catch up on chores

15. Do your laundry

16. Garden

17. Have a picnic

18. Visit a local coffee shop with friends

19. Learn the art of photography

20. Go to an art class

21. Learn to juggle

22. Bike

23. Go swimming

24. Become organized

25. Learn how to do hair

26. Bond with your parents

27. Take a relaxation day

28. Buy some new clothes

29. Take a bubble bath

30. Get a gym membership

31. Travel

32. Hammock

33. Make a bucket list and complete it

34. Go dirt-biking

35. Volunteer at places you think need help

36. Research a topic that you've always wanted to know more about

37. Attend an open-mic some place

38. Do some karaoke

39. Go skiing

40. Eat some dark chocolate

41. Take your parents out to dinner

42. Spend time with your siblings

43. Get a new piercing

44. Start a new TV series

45. Learn what you want in your next relationship and the next guy you date

This is a list of 45 things that can be done without a boyfriend. My point is not to rag those who have boyfriends, but to prove that almost anything can be done without a boyfriend (or with a boyfriend). Having a boyfriend is not essential to learning how to live or love. Rather, you should be with someone who makes you happy but does not take time away from the things you love to do. A boyfriend is not someone who completes you, but compliments you. Dating is normal, being interested in guys is not bad, but forgetting your friends, replacing your friends, forgetting who you are, and losing pieces of who you were is wrong. Go on and date, but those who are single are okay being who they are without having to compromise on what they want to do or who they share the bed with.

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.
