1. The ability to make memes

Everyone these days can't scroll through their Facebook feeds without coming across at least one meme, and with graphic design, you have the power to create your own. Whether it be an attempt of comedic genius, or just a bad photoshop job of one of your friends, with graphic design you will be the king (or queen) of Facebook among all your friends.

2. The ability to create a logo for anything

Starting a small business? Running for class president? Make it look professional by quickly creating a logo and wow everyone who sees it.

3. The ability to create posters

If you are ever planning an event and need to spread the word fast, the best way to do that is with a poster. If you know graphic design, you can create an eye-catching poster to draw in people's attention. It will be way more effective than just tweeting the info with plain text. Everything is so visual now; you need something to draw attention.

4. Odd job opportunities

So i know I mentioned before how you have the ability to crate logos and posters, but what if i told you can possibly do those same things but make money for it! Small graphic design jobs are a great way to make a little extra cash.

5. You become a member of the creative community.

Even if you know just a little graphic design, you are able to unleash a lot of creativity. Creativity is definitely something you need, and if you don't use it, you lose it. Graphic design is an infinite canvas that you can always work 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.

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.

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.
