Long distance relationships are hard. Whether you're going off to school, or you've always been in a long distance relationship, it can be tricky. Here are a few things that you know too well if you're in one.

1. The beauty of Skype/FaceTime.

Yes, talking on the phone is wonderful. BUT, being able to look at each other talking is so much better. Seeing what the person is feeling is as close as you can get to being face to face.

2. Having to deal with everyone questioning your relationship.

Anyone in a long distance relationship has been questioned during their time together. Trust me, hearing the words "Being in a long distance relationship never works!" doesn't ever gets any less annoying. Lets be honest, it's going to work if you're willing to give it your all.


3. Seeing certain things and thinking of your boyfriend/girlfriend.

There's always a restaurant, coffee shop, book store, or park that will always trigger a memory with your bf/gf. It's hard seeing a certain place and realizing that you don't have that person by your side as you make new memories there, but it doesn't erase your previous memories with that person. You'll have more moments with your person, each just as special as the last.

4. Counting down the days until you get to see them again.

Knowing that you'll be able to see your bf/gf soon is one of the best feelings. Each day you wake up is one less sleep until you get to be face to face with them again, and it's a wonderful feeling.


5. Knowing how hard it is to say goodbye after you've spent time together.

When you finally get to spend time with each other it is wonderful. You get to be face to face and make countless memories. Trying to jam pack everything into your short allotted time together always makes the time go by quickly. Sadly, it has to end. Saying goodbye will always be the hardest part of a long distance relationship, it just never gets easier. You cry and hold onto each other until the last possible second, then you let go, put a smile on your face, and realize that you'll see them again soon.

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.

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.
