Mom-in' ain't easy

We know them, we love them- mom friends! They love us, they feed us, they keep us safe. Every group has one, every group needs one, and if you find this article all too relatable, chances are- you are one!

1. Your friends have to text you as soon as they get home.

As the mom friend, it is your duty to make sure your friends get home safe. When they leave your house, you walk them out and don't go back inside until they drive off. Your neighbors probably know you as the weird girl that stands in her driveway or at her door shouting "I LOVE YOU! TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET HOME SAFE" at everyone who leaves your house.

2. You and Mary Poppins have the same purse.

On trips, people actually refer to you as "mom". You are prepared for anything. Advil? Got it. Sunscreen? Got it. Snacks? Got it. Chinese throwing star? You betcha. We are forever over-prepared and always have enough to share with those around us. You've probably heard "hey, can I stick my keys in your purse?" more times than you can count. (Bonus mom points if you've actually ventured into the world of mom backpacks at amusement parks.)

3. Everyone goes to you for advice.

You have a heart for everyone and it shows. You always know what's going on because everyone in your friend group is asking you what they should do about a situation. People feel comfort in your mom-ness and trust your wisdom.

4. The mom "sixth sense" has set in early.

Your friends don't have to tell you if something is wrong because you already know. You have developed the innate mom sixth sense at an early age. This sixth sense isn't just extended to your friends, chances are you've probably found yourself consoling upset strangers as well. You can sense when someone is hurting and it's against your nature not to help them.

5. You're a mom friend to all.

You have a such a genuine love for people that sometimes it comes off as overbearing. You are a mom friend to all. Mom friends are people who love even when it's not convenient. They look at all people without judgment and understand the misunderstood.

To all my mom friends out there, I salute you. From the regular three hour long heart-to-hearts with friends inside your car to the depths of your mom amusement park backpack- you deserve the world and more!

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.

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.
