Pinterest has been around for awhile, and many people seem to have it but nobody ever talks about it. Occasionally I hear, "oh I got the idea from Pinterest," but we are not giving it enough credit!

I feel like I have been a Pinterest follower since day 1, for it was only created in March of 2010. Looking through my pins, you can definitely see the trends I've followed and the ideas I've dreamt up. Pinterest has been there for me throughout all of my different ideas. If there is anything you need to know about me, just look at my Pinterest. It shows many different aspects of my life like tattoo ideas, sorority ideas, gift ideas, crafts, workout tips, life tips, etc.

1. There are "how to's" for just about everything

How to study efficiently, how to shop on a budget, how to make money as a college student, how to pierce your own ear and everything in between!

2. There are recipes for any type of person

Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, on a budget, or going all out, there are recipes for you!

3. Lifestyle tips

There are infinite pictures of workout routines, weight loss plans, outfit ideas, beauty tips, gift ideas, etc.

4. Endless artistic ideas

The art and DIY category can provide you with ideas for sorority crafts, school projects, home decorations, "do it yourself" projects, tattoo ideas, wedding ideas, and MUCH MUCH MORE!

5. You can post anything you want and organize it within "boards" that work as folder

You can create an account and from there you have your profile which consists of your pins and your boards. You can browse through thousands of pins related to your search and save your pin into a "board" that you can title for that specific category of pins you can post on that board.

6. You not only get ideas from Pinterest, you can browse "buyable pins" that are related to your search

There will be a picture, caption, and price on a product you can purchase; clicking on the picture will take you directly to the website where it is sold. Knowing that you can save your pins into boards, you can save any products you are interested in.

I sound very broad when I explain how Pinterest can rule your life, but it is mind-blowing at how many ideas can be found on a single website. Honestly, Pinterest is almost like Google...

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.
