11 Thoughts About Being Single On Valentine's Day As Told By Taylor Swift
Valentine's Day Movie

Valentine's Day is once again upon us. While it's obviously just a holiday invented to keep florists in business and sell a bunch of cheesy cards and cheap chocolate, there's no way to avoid it. Valentine’s Day stuff is everywhere as soon as February starts; heart shaped stuff, bad pink and red decorations, and don’t forget the creepy Cupid cutouts. There is no escape.

I'm seriously convinced that no one actually likes Valentine's Day. For couples, it's too much pressure and just set up to be a disappointment. For us single people, it's yet another reminder of how alone we are because that’s something we totally need to be reminded of.

1. When you realize that Valentine's Day is coming up

How is this holiday even still a thing?

2. All your friends start asking you if you have any plans

Please stop asking.

3. You start noticing couples everywhere

Public displays of affection. Yuck

4. You briefly consider sending yourself flowers

How much money does that cost any way?

5. And quickly realize what a bad idea that is

I'm not that desperate...yet

6. You try to get your friends to hang out with you

At least I still have my friends

7. But they have plans - when did they all get significant others?

That's fine. I'll just buy myself some ice cream and eat it all by myself. I'm totally not bitter or anything.

8. You can't go out because everything is couples stuff or "for two"

Why is this holiday so biased against single people anyway?

9. You end up just hanging out at home and watching TV because you don't want to see all the couples

Netflix will be my Valentine

10. It's all OK because you're a pretty awesome date anyway

You're absolutely amazing even if you aren't dating someone!

11. And there's always 50 percent off chocolate tomorrow

On sale chocolate is the best chocolate. Treat yourself

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.
