On May 19th, I, like many Americans, woke up at the crack of dawn to turn on the TV. Why? The Royal Wedding of course! From the fashion and the guest list, to the ceremony and then the procession, there's just so much to discuss.

Even though the ceremony only lasted an hour, these 5 moments will surely last a lifetime.

1. Meghan Markle walking down the aisle

Meghan Markle looked like a vision walking down the checkered aisle in a simple, elegant Givenchy dress topped with a stunning diamond tiara given to her by the Queen herself. Besides the obvious, let's talk about the fact that the mini bridesmaids and pageboys were the cutest thing EVER!

I couldn't help but think they looked like her little ducklings when they were walking behind her down the aisle of St. George's Chapel.

2. Prince Harry seeing Meghan for the first time

The lip bite, the smile, the part where he literally said "you look amazing," where do I begin? It was all just too much for my heart to handle. A tear was most definitely shed.

3. The Vows

If you've been on Twitter or Instagram lately you've probably seen the picture of Meghan Markle staring at Prince Harry with those wide, brown eyes. If you ever doubted their relationship, that doubt was washed away if you watched them say their vows.

The way they looked at each other was the stuff movies are made of.

4. Prince Harry getting emotional when they sang "Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer"

Prince Harry wears his heart on his sleeve, and that's why he's so universally loved. It is no secret that the Prince had a very close relationship with his late mother, Princess Diana. It is also no secret that he suffered a great deal when she passed away.

This song was played at her funeral and was a reminder that she was with her son on his special day. Prince Harry quickly wiped his eye and nose at the conclusion of the song, but if you caught it, it was quite touching.

5. The First Kiss

The kiss. The smiles after. This is the content I signed up for. What a perfect end to a fairytale wedding.

If this article confused you because you're the only person on this earth that didn't see the wedding...please go watch it. I guarantee your skin will be clearer, your stomach will be flatter, and your life will be longer, that's how magical it was.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

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.
