7 Emotions You Feel In Math Class, As Told By Homer Simpson
FOX

Ah, math class. One second everything makes sense and the next, you're scrambling to find your way out of a labyrinth. Who needs these crazy formulas and diagrams anyway? No matter which math class you're in, we've all felt these emotions at one point or another.

1. Boredom

The teacher starts rambling about something you learned two days ago and writing some formulas that you can't see anyway. No one else is paying attention either anyway, so why not take a quick nap, right?

2. Confusion

Your eyes jolt open, and you realize that you blanked out for the last 20 minutes of the lecture. Where are you? Why are all these crazy symbols looking back at your with their mocking eyes? When is the next quiz?

3. Overwhelming Panic

"To ask or not to ask?" you contemplate, still groggy from that nap, and that's when your teacher calls on you.

4. Frustration

"Uhhh...." you stutter in front of the class, feeling everyone's eyes on you and hearing a few giggles. "How come everyone understands this except me?!"

5. Bitterness

"Why is everyone smarter than me?! Just stop." You can't possibly be the only one who doesn't understand this, right?

6. Regret

You question why you ever even signed up to take this class anyway. Why did you ever think Calculus at 8 a.m. was a good idea? If there's one thing you know for sure, it's that math + mornings ≠ happy you.

7. And finally, the Lightbulb Moment!

You stare at the problem for too long and finally, everything clicks! You breathe a sigh of relief and realize that you get to do it all over again the next day.

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.
