8 Things To Do When Your Plans Don't Go As Planned

Has there ever been a day in your life where you wake up in the morning, eager to start your day, because you have so many exciting things to do or an event to go to that night? You rush home from work, throw on the outfit you’ve been dying to wear and make sure your makeup looks flawless. As soon as you’re about to head out the door…

Wait — something goes wrong (God knows what) and that thrill goes away because the plans you’ve made and have been looking forward to just got cancelled, last minute of course. And then your left making excuses, like maybe you should just go out again next weekend, or the timing of for these plans were never right. Eh, it happens to the best of us… In fact it happened to me last night. So here are eight things to do when the plans you’ve been looking forward to don’t seem to go just as planned:

1. Go Shopping.

A little retail therapy never hurt anyone did it? Except for your bank account, of course.

2. Take a road trip.

Just get in your car and drive… and listen to the 2010 party playlist CD that you had made in the eigth grade.

3. Go to the movies.

"Finding Dory" just came out and it’s honestly the cutest movie ever and a must see no matter your age.

4. Plan a vacation.

Why not book a trip somewhere exotic like the Bahamas or Bermuda!? Hopefully you find a great deal on flights and a hotel and hopefully this trip won’t get cancelled!

5. Exercise.

Burn some calories! Sweat! Go to the gym and put in work… and make use of the this extra time that has been put on your hands!

6. Sleep.

Or you could just snooze off a few calories, maybe?

7. Go to Outback Steakhouse.

I don’t know about you but when I get hangry (hungry and angry, duh) I’m usually always craving a Bloomin' Onion from Outback… plus Outback Steakhouse never fails me. So it’s a win, win. No loss here!

8. Climb to the top of the world

Be spontaneous why dontcha?

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.
