5 Things You Shouldn't Say/Do To Your Friends That Are Behind On Shows.

In the past few years, I've made some of my closest friends from similar interests in movies and TV shows. Recently, however, I have been behind on a lot of TV shows and movies because I just don't have the same amount of time that I had in high school. My responsibilities as a college student can be overwhelming so I don't have too much time on my hands to catch up on shows, but I will eventually get to them. I know that sometimes expressing your love for a show is unavoidable and that's okay but please don't be "that guy". Here's some things you should avoid if you are "that guy."

1. PLEASE DON'T HINT AT A DEATH IF I JUST STARTED A SHOW!!!!!

This is my least favorite thing. When I love a certain character, I love with my whole heart so please don't make me imagine the worst or ruin loving a certain character because you're sad.

2. Don't say "We have to watch it immediately" and proceed to tell me how I've been missing out.

Chances are, I've probably already heard of the show and I feel really bad for not watching it. I have about 90 things on my watch list and I will eventually get to it.

3. Don't respond with "Yeah, it gets crazier" when I finally start watching the show YOU recommended and just want to share my experience with you.

I'm sure it does get crazier but I started watching the show because you recommended it so please tell me more than "it get's crazier" and share the excitement with me. I'm glad you introduced me to the show that I now love but I would love to hear about how you felt when you saw that episode/ scene.

4. Please only recommend one or two shows at a time.

I have probably added most of the popular shows to my watch list but please don't give me 10 new shows at a time because I probably won't be able3 to get to it until summer vacation.

5. Please don't get offended if I don't like a certain show.

We might not have the same taste in TV shows so please don't get offended when I don't like a TV show that you recommended. I promise to let you know kindly that it isn't for me instead of wasting your time and making you feel bad for liking the show.

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.
