My dearest Night Owl,

I assume you're reading this because you're doing what night owls do. You're up way after you should be asleep. It's probably gotten to the point where you're so bored out of your mind but nowhere near tired enough to go to sleep that you just don't know what to do with yourself.

Luckily for you, I'm here to help. From one night owl to another, here's a list of things to do when you should be sleeping:

1. Read a Book

2. Go for a drive

3. Catch up on some homework

4. Take a shower or bath

5. Paint your nails

6. Clean your room

7. Start a journal

8. Add to your Spotify playlists

9. Find your fellow night owls and go on an adventure

10. Mindlessly scroll through dog videos on Facebook

11. Take some Instagram worthy pictures to post during the day (AKA prime posting hours)

12. Go through who you're following and unfollow inactive accounts

13. Download a game and spend the rest of eternity obsessing over it

14. Binge watch an entire season of your favorite show on Netflix

15. Find animals you want to have as pets later in life

16. Plan your dream wedding

17. Hit up your significant other

18. Explore Walmart

19. Eat some food to satisfy that late night hunger

20. Write an article about what night owls should do while being an active night owl yourself

I hope this list gives you some inspiration on how to stay entertained while waiting for sleep to finally hit you. Rock on, night owls. I'll see ya'll at Waffle House at about 3 a.m.

Your Fellow Night Owl

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.
