9 Things You Can Do While The Rest Of The World Is Having Babies And Getting Married

1. Date

This may sound very cliche, but this is the time to learn what you like and what you don't like, and the only way to do this is by dating, and hey, who said that can't be fun? See what you value in a relationship and what might be a deal-breaker.

2. Travel

I've always believed in traveling and experiencing the world first alone and then with a partner.,Enjoy some Pasta in Italy, wink at cute boys, immerse the beauty of Mykonos and cheer for your favorite soccer team in Spain.

3. Get an apartment and enjoy your own company

This is the last time you'll be able to do laundry for one and be absolutely and completely alone.

4. Spend your money

Again, this is the time to be selfish, enjoy it.

5. Get out of your comfort zone

And do it on your own, learn to push yourself to do new things and don't rely on anyone else to try new things. Make a fool out of yourself one Saturday night with your friends and don't think about it.

6. Enjoy your drunk self

Enjoy not having to text someone every night where you are at and having to give explanations. Enjoy getting stupid drunk with your girlfriends and waking up the next morning with a huge smile on your face... and sunglasses.


7. Jumpstart your Career

"As the rest of the world is getting engaged, tying the knot, planning for cribs and diapers and tiny toddlers running around—take this time to get to know you and chase the life you want" - Marisa Donnelly

8. Buy a ton of puppies

Yes it's a responsability BUT PUPPIES.

9. Take a spontaneous roadtrip

Get lost and then find your way back.

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.
