6 Pros & Cons Of Myspace
Myspace

So we all remember our Myspace days. It was a long time ago for most of us, but we could probably still log in to our account and navigate the website pretty easily! So here are some fun pro's and con's of the website.

1. Pro: The Changeable Backgrounds

Forreal who didn't love spending hours looking through themes and learning how to change HTML codes so your profile could look simply awesome! There were a ton of different themes to choose from, whether it was black and white or super colorful. There were these for holidays and special events!

2. Con: You Could Have A Top 8 or 10

I know I hated having to choose from all of my friends. Picking people for a top 5, 8, or even 10 still kinda sucked! I mean what if you have 20 best friends (because in 7th & 8th grade you know you did) how would you ever decide who was in the top list? Sometimes it could even mess up some friendships (which is completely ridiculous & we laugh about it now).

3. Pro: You Always Had 1 Friend

No matter if you were new to Myspace or you just had a fight with all of your friends simultaneously (again it happens in middle school) you still had Tom at the end of the day. Tom was your first friend and you could talk to him whenever you wanted!

4. Con: Tom

Okay so there is a pro to Tom but there's also a con. Everyone knew how new to Myspace you were if your only friend was Tom! Also his picture is just kinda weird, but this is him now!!

5. Pro: The Music Player

I don't know about y'all but I had the best time looking for music for my player. I had to find the right song to go along with my background, my profile picture, my about me, everything! Also after Myspace updated a little bit you could play more than one song and that completely changed the game! You had to find the right mix or the perfect album for your page!!

6. Con: The End

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. The era of Myspace ended and Facebook began. Now it's instagram, snapchat and what ever else people can use for social media. We all loved Myspace but let's be honest no one really cares to go back!

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.
