Walking home alone is never a big deal during the day. You see your surroundings, birds are chirping, and all is good. Walking home alone at night is a different story. This is when all the creeps come out and we fear for our safety simply because we are a woman and alone.

No matter how brave of a woman you are, there are always a few thoughts that run through our minds while we're wandering alone.

1. Relax, it's just a little dark out

Ok, you're just being paranoid. Just because it's dark doesn't mean that something bad is going to happen. You walk this path all the time, you're fine. Relax.

2. Could someone steal me right now?

Like what if I'm just walking, minding my own business, and then bam, someone jumps out of this bush up ahead and grabs me. I wonder if I could fight back. I could probably get away, I'm feisty. OMG, what if someone is really in that bush...?

3. OMG WHAT WAS THAT NOISE

There is a serial killer near me I know there is! I heard a noise behind me, but I can't look back or they'll know that I know they're there and grab me. What was that noise!!! Oh, it was a cat...totally knew that.

4. You know what, I DARE someone

Do you really wanna mess with me right now?! Come at me I dare you! You ain't gunna do sh*t! *Hears the wind rustle a tree* I was totally kidding please go away please go away.

5. Yay I made it home

Go me! Walked home the whole way by myself and nothing bad happened. This is no big deal, I rock. Why was I freaking out about this? Hahaha. Wait, what if someone is waiting for me inside?...

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.
