You Should Never Apologize For Spending Money On These 8 Things
Carli Jean | Every Pixel

We can all agree that “broke” is a word commonly used to describe college students. I am no exception to the norm, which is why I started to pay more attention to the things I spent money on. You have no idea of the amount of times I’ve heard the phrase, “Don’t spend your money on that, save it.”

Why should I?

There are situations where it is understandable to be an adult, think twice and stop yourself before you spend $200 on useless things. But there are others where we have to ask ourselves, “Is this really useless or a necessity?” The correct answer is, always, the latter.

Here are the eight things you should 100% buy without second doubt:

1. Food

Everyone loves food so why feel ashamed of spending your money on it?

Back home we have a saying, “Barriga lleno, corazon content” which means, “full tummy, happy heart”

Go get a happy heart.

2. Ice cream

Yes, ice cream needs its own category. If food makes your heart happy, then ice creams help your soul. No need for excuses.

Also, how cute do ice cream cones look on Instagram photos? EXTREMELY CUTE.

3. Concert tickets

I still don’t understand how there are people out there who would rather save money over buying concert tickets.

Nothing compares to standing in the middle of a huge crowd listening to your favorite songs live. Just think about how many times artists do tours, not often. If your favorite artist is visiting your city, then go get tickets and please don’t feel guilty about it.

4. Books

They are the best hobby, you can read anywhere you go and you learn. Need more excuses? I don’t think so.

5. Coffee/Tea

If you love coffee as much as I do, you’ve probably been judged after your third trip of the day to Starbucks. Don’t panic my friend, I’m with you in this journey. Go get your coffee – or your tea - and ignore the haters.

6. Cute mugs

I mean, how are you planning on drinking your coffee or tea?

7. Oversized sweaters

Oversized sweaters are the perfect outfit for a cold day / cold classroom. They are pieces of clothing sent straight from heaven that are cool enough to go out in public, and perfectly big and comfortable to take that after-class-nap.

8. Pajamas/fuzzy socks

Nothing is more important that comfort, especially if you are a college student stressed about life who finds peace in soft, fluffy, cloud-like attires. Go get yourself some cute pajamas and tons of fuzzy socks (you can never have enough of those).

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.
