5 Reasons Why Having A Big Family Is Amazing
Summer Gragg

I have sixteen brothers and sisters. I have many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Having a big family can sometimes be stressful, but here are five reasons why I actually do love having a big family.

1. The birthday parties and holidays


A lot of family members means having a lot of cake. I feel like we celebrate a birthday twice a month. Cake is great and all, but birthday parties also means seeing my family twice a month! Not all of us always get together, but a chunk of the family does and I love being able to spend so much time with them. Same with the Holidays, I get to spend them with my family!

2. Someone is always around


You never do get real alone time to yourself. There is someone always around. I can walk out of my room and there is my sister, I walk out of my house and there is my nephew. I love being able to surround myself with family.

3. Something is always going on

Something interesting always happens in my family. We either have a party, drama, or screaming going on. There is something to always talk about. Either it’s my niece with her boy problems, my brother with his speech problem, my sister with her work struggles, or me with my spending money issues; there is always something going on.

4. Support

When I am having an issue, I have many family members to choose from to help me with said issue. I always have someone to go to and to talk to. I have many people to Support me and to love me. I have an entire tribe to stand behind me and to always be there for me.

5. Friends for life

All my siblings and cousins will be my forever friends. My mom will always be my best friend. I have people that I trust with my entire life. People that I will Love forever. I have many memories with them and many memories that have not happened yet. They are my friends for life. I am so blessed to have a huge family.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
