Clemson and Alabama are no strangers to the National Championships as they've met in the championships four seasons in a row. Both teams have gone the whole season without a loss, but Alabama had the first seed due to winning the championships last year. Most people predicted that Alabama would take the championships due to Clemson's freshman quarterback and the fact that they won last year. At first, the game was intense as the lead changed multiple times in the first quarter, but Clemson kept on piling on the points ending the game with a score of 44-16. The championship was expected to be a close game as the winner is usually decided in the fourth quarter, so what went wrong for Alabama? Twitter was quick to blame rapper Drake for the loss.

Here's a little history about the "Drake Curse." Many sports fans have noticed a pattern behind all the teams Drake supports. Regardless of what the sport is, bad luck follows teams that Drake supports. The first victim of the "Drake Curse" is the Toronto Raptors. Supporting the home team is no surprise and Drake can be seen watching courtside. He even became a global ambassador and ever since he did, the team has not done well.

During a time of rumored dating, Drake was seen supporting Serena Williams at the US Open in 2015. Serena was the three-time defending champion and was expected to win again, but upsettingly lost in the semifinals to Roberta Vinci.

Another notable victim of the curse is Connor McGregor. Drake was present supporting McGregor at his weigh-in for the UFC fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and McGregor. History repeats itself as McGregor is defeated by Khabib.

The most recent victim is Alabama Crimson Tide. Everyone was quick to blame Drake for the unexpected loss as a video of him in an Alabama hoodie surfaced. Even Clemson acknowledged Drake by tweeting at him to get a Tigers shirt. Drake just seems to be on the wrong side of history in regards to sports. Although the curse may just be a bunch of coincidences, let's just hope Drake doesn't have your favorite team's jersey.

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.

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.
