Contrary To Popular Belief, There Are Actually Good Things About Long Distance Relationships
Emily Sullivan

Sadly, sometimes you can’t always be with bae. Yes, it totally sucks but there are some things that aren’t so bad about it! To some people, being in a long distance relationship in college may seem scary, complicated or impossible!

But I am here to tell you that not only is it totally do-able, but, it actually has benefits! YES! BENEFITS! So the next time you're thinking of all the hardships of your LDR, you can remember all the best parts! It may not be ideal but stay positive and it will all work out!

1. Being able to eat foul smelling food

Tuna? Sure! Onions? Go for it! You never have to worry about having good breath for bae!


2. No more boy drama!

While everyone else is fighting over that one boy in physics class, you get to put your time into something way more productive!


3. Girls Night!

It’s fun to be able to hang out with your girl friends all the time! You never have to choose between your bae and your bff!


5. When you finally get to see each other

There is absolutely nothing better than giving the person you love a huge hug!


6. You get to have weekend getaways!

If you're lucky enough to be able to visit each other for a weekend, no matter where you are, it feels like the best vacation ever!


7. Waking up and doing your makeup no longer feels needed

Not feeling the need to find yourself a husband in your 8 a.m. math class is such a relief!


8. You know you can make it through anything

You’ve nailed your trust and communication skills and there is nothing more important than that!

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.
