My phone has recently been on the fritz, and as the 2 year anniversary of being with my iPhone 5S is approaching, I understand its death is as well. Naturally this brings a lot of frustration because not only is my phone my life, but I cannot do anything to stop this death.

1. Touch screen fails

My phone might as well be made out of paper when the touch screen doesn't respond any time I poke it.

2. HOW IS THIS HAPPENING I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO DO THIS

Yup, I did not tell you to flip out iphone, please stop so I can finish my tweet. K, thanks.

3. Battery oh battery, why do you fail me

It doesn't matter what size the phone is, after a certain point the battery will be shot and there is no saving it. Start carrying around your charger friends.

4. Storage GTFO

There is nothing more frustrating than the little message that pops up saying you're out of storage. Especially now that the message includes the option to buy more storage. YOU'RE NOT GETTING MORE MONEY.

5. The pictures, oh the memories

Whether you are deleting photos to make more storage, or buying a new phone and have zero pictures on your phone now the loss of memories is tragic. Without our photos we are lost, what do we post on Facebook? We have nothing to use for a #tbt on instagram!

6. Charger fraying. Yup sounds right.

We all know the pain of watching the little bubble on the charger cord form and then waiting for it to fully rip and expose the wires, wondering how long it will last until it no longer gives life to the phone.

7. New Phone, New Me.

You have a new phone, clean slate, everything is all pretty and running quickly. Enjoy it while it lasts.

RIP old iPhone, you will be missed.

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.
