6 Unrealistic Expectations Pinterest Has Given Me
The Street

Pinterest has been around since 2010 giving people everywhere unrealistic expectations about practically everything under the sun. From crafting perfectly painted coolers to your dream wedding dress or your dream mansion. Pinterest has it all.

1. Becoming a crafting goddess

Yes, Pinterest taught me to paint canvases, make bracelets, sew, and envision beautiful creations; although, sometimes those things fail miserably. Have you ever tried to free-hand paint an entire cooler? Don't do it to yourself (or at least not overnight).

2. Finding a dream home

If Pinterest were a real estate agent, they would be the best in the business. They find the perfect small apartment fully furnished to a cottage style house, or even a mansion on water. They allow you to dream big, find something you love without breaking the bank by re-pinning it and just dreaming of those walk-in closets, fireplaces, pools, lake house in the backyard, and all of the luxuries that aren't quite in that college girl budget.


3. Chef Master

Have you ever tried out a Pinterest recipe? Did it work out perfectly for you? Yes? Save it. Print it. Frame it. That doesn't happen too often when one tries to create something from the Perfect Princess Printer, but when it does it is flawless and delicious.


4. To Be or Not To Be: Philosophical

Quotes from the days of Aristotle, authors like Hemingway, lyrics from your favorite songs, and unknown writers who share their words with the world. If only we could all be like those writers and share our views with the world.


5. Perfect Weight. Perfect Face. Perfect Abs.

Just remember, Perfect Princess Pinterest has all of those things. Don't get too jealous.


6. Puppies

Who doesn't love puppies? Pinterest has the most perfect Golden Retrievers, Labs, little dogs, big dogs, fluffy puppies, and puppies playing with tennis balls. Who doesn't just want a lap full of puppies?


Now, it's time to get back to Pinterest and re-pin those dream kitchens, perfectly painted canvases, puppies, and everything that Princess Pinterest has to offer.

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.
