In every friend group, there are different types of personalities and people. You have the outgoing friend, the always happy friend, the negative friend, the crazy friend. But the friend everyone in the group forgets about is the hippie. This may be because you don't wear flowy pants every day, or have your hair middle parted with a braided headband, but there are signs that you, in fact, are a hippie.

1. Your political views may be a little too liberal for some

You are all about keeping the peace, having restrictions on guns, the right to protest, everyone having equal rights, and you believe in climate change.

2. The Beatles are your life especially John Lennon and his motto of peace

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is hands down your favorite album to exist. Some of your friends are just as obsessed, while others have never listened to one of their songs. Your biggest dream is to see them live in concert, but that is literally a dream considering two of the members are dead. Either way, the Fab Four will continue to live on as the best band in history.

3. You're obsessed with Woodstock

You either know it or you don't. This was the OG music festival. It was three days of peace and it included Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and many more who were the ultimate hippies.

4. Flowers are your thing

This might seem basic to some but flowers are a symbol of peace and serenity. There is a reason why people back in the 60s and 70s wore them 24/7, they bring about a calm to people, a happiness. Sunflowers are like a little bundle of joy and lying in a sunflower field is the only way to be. Really you just love the earth and being around nature and protecting the nature around you.

5. Peace isn't just an idea, it's your lifestyle

You are all about peace. This comes to peace with yourself, peace with others, and peace within the world. Yea you can be mean at times, but all you want is for everyone even people you don't get along with to have peace and for that peace to radiate through the world so everyone can love and respect each other.

I could list a million more ways you are the hippie of the friend group, but I will leave it with just this. Remember if someone makes fun of you for being a hippie that you have extremely rad taste in music, and that these people have been activists for peace and equality for years. Peace and love everyone.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
