5 Things That Are Way Too High School as Told By Mean Girls

High school. We've all been there. Some of us never left there. After going back to my high school after being in college for two months, there are some things that definitely stay in high school. Here's what I noticed, with help from the popular movie, Mean Girls.

1. Secret Make-Out Sessions

In high school, it seems like all adults are against teenage sex, or affection at all, really. This causes teenagers to sneak around and "do stuff" in crevices in the hallways, or as I saw this weekend, in dark ally ways where they think no one will find them. In college, couples are pretty open about their relationships... Probably because there are no adults telling them it's bad.

2. The Popular Group

The popular group does vanish in college. There isn't any hierarchy, and no one really cares what anyone else thinks about them. There's no "Queen Bee" and no one feels the need to prove themselves as better than anyone else. It's extremely refreshing, trust me.

3. Universal Slut Shaming

If I had a dollar for every time I heard a girl call another girl a slut or a whore in high school, I would probably have more money than Bill Gates. On the other hand, if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone get called a slut in college, I would be living in a card board box. High school girls are mean, end of story. Thankfully, we're a little less mean after graduation.

4. Expectations that you have to be a 10/10 every day

You wore sweat pants to class every day this week? Awesome! So did everyone else!

5. Insane rumors that couldn't possibly be true

We've all had a really bad rumor spread about us in high school, to the point where everyone knew it and everyone was staring at you, and even worse, they actually believed it. Thank goodness that's over.

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.
