5 Tips To Get Through A Rough Week

Sometimes in life, we face obstacles that we never dreamed of being faced with. Sometimes those obstacles feel like they will never end, or go away. Sometimes it seems like we are faced with a new obstacle EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. For me, that has been the case recently. Being the optimistic and positive person I am, I have tried my best not to let these obstacles drag me down, or add any weight to my shoulders. So, if you're going through a tough time, this is for you.

1. Haters gonna hate

Sometimes people suck. Like, let's just face it. Not everyone is always going to be in your corner, and sometimes it may be those who are closest to you that show you this. Keep your chin held high, karma does not lose an address. My tip: Always do your best. If you are doing your best, then you are doing right. Always do your best to ignore all of the side comments or the backlash, and keep working hard.


2. Live your best life

Whatever this means for you, DO IT! Life is way too short. Things might be hard, but every day not spent living is a day you won't get back. Scoop yourself together to the best of your ability, make a bucket list, and do you, boo!


3. Be proud of yourself


You, my friend, have accomplished so much. And, you still have so much left that you will accomplish throughout your journey of life. I am proud of you, and I know there are others who are also proud of you. Keep pushing to achieve your dreams, because YOU WILL GET THERE!

4. Work hard play harder

Work can be extremely overwhelming, and maybe you have two of three jobs. Remember in those moments of complete exhaustion, and stress eventually, one day, some day, hopefully soon, all of this hard work is going to pay off. But, in the meantime TREAT YO SELF! :)

5. Say NO

It seems like when you have so much going on, everyone is contacting you to go out or help with something. It's okay to say no! I know, I know, it makes me feel guilty too. But, we've all been there. You're busy. When you have down time take the time to relax. Sometimes "Ain't nobody got time for that"


With all that being said...

Keep your chin up, keep your heart happy, and take care of yourself. You have one life, and this is it. Make the most of it.

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.
