8 Things You Do When You're Home Alone

1. Wake up in the middle of the day.

Alright, it's 1 pm, I guess I can wake up now. Is it still considered breakfast, or do I eat lunch? Some people are only halfway through their day and I'm just waking up. How grand is this!

2. Eat some weird shit.

Well, I don't really want to eat breakfast, but I need to eat some sort of breakfast item. What about like eggs, with some chips and soda. Both breakfast and lunch! Maybe I'll even make an egg sandwich so I can say I had eggs for breakfast and sandwich for lunch. Perfect! Wait but look at that gallon of ice cream. It's staring me down.


3. Have a dance party.

"What's that? A hat? Crazy, funky, junky hat. Overslept, hair unsightly. tryna look like Kira Knightly. We've been there, we've done that, we see right through your funky hat."

Lemme just bust out my moves real quick.


4. Watch a show you've never watched.

You know what? Today is the day I'm going to try a new show. I have so many recommendations I just don't know which one to start with.


5. Binge watch something on Netflix

The real struggle is not knowing which one to start with, which ends up leading you to re-watching Grey's for the millionth time.

6. Plan life out

Tomorrow I'm actually going to do something. I'm going to get all this shit done, and next week and the week after. I'm going to make it so far up in the chains I'll be the president. I just gotta follow this plan and I'll be all set.


7. Take a nap

Well, It's only 3 pm, I think I can squeeze in a 2-hour nap. Wake up and eat some popcorn or something. Or maybe I could take a nap at 3:30 pm finish this show and wake up in 3 hours. Yeah, that's better.


8. Make yourself look semi-presentable

I mean if someone decides to show up this hair is not going to cut it. I'll put in in a nice pony tail and have light make up. I'll make these sweats work.

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.

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.
