7 Fun Accessories For Your Next Existential Crisis
The Verge

What if every major life decision you've made has been wrong? What's your real purpose? Do you even have a purpose? Does anyone have purpose? Is there a God? Have you ever really thought about how big space is? Are we all just doomed to be prisoners to capitalist hell? Existential crises can be tough, but these great products can help you get through your Next Big Breakdown. Thanks, capitalism!

1. Fuzzy blanket

They're called comforters for a reason! There's nothing like burrowing into a big, fuzzy blanket instead of tending to your responsibilities. For an added bonus, get some chairs and build a blanket fort. Nobody can get in without a password--not even dread!

2. Waterproof mascara

Existential crises usually come in unannounced, leaving you no time to take off your makeup beforehand. Investing in a waterproof formula will ensure you can run to the store to get emergency Ben & Jerry's without looking like a crazed raccoon. Swipe on some eyeliner for an easy day to night transition!

3. Teddy Bear


Aww! This adorable little guy will listen to all your deepest fears without telling you to "get a grip," or "please just take the pizza and leave, ma'am." Plus, bears can't ignore your texts.

4. "The Hills," Season 1

"The Hills" heals all. The trivial problems of rich, white 20-somethings are a perfect distraction from your major anxieties. Regretting every choice you've ever made? Please. Lauren picked Jason over Paris.

5. Guard Rail

Perfect for keeping yourself from falling into the void.

6. Bath Bomb

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, try wallowing in a floral scented bath! They're super relaxing and soaking with a multicolored bath bomb will make you feel like a regal princess, not a scared millennial.

7. Amazon store card

Retail therapy! Nothing solves a crisis better than buying a bunch of random shit. In retrospect, this is a terrible idea, but you'll have time to regret it when your next existential crisis comes around!

Are we even real? What if life is just a simulation? What happens after we die? Shhhhh. Just put on "The Hills."

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.
