'Coffee Or Tea?', A Debate As Old As Time
Lia Leslie

A hot cup of coffee can start your morning off right and a hot cup of tea can be soothing after a long stressful day. Everyone has their drink whether it be a good cup of joe or a sweet cup of tea. There have been many articles and studies about each and why one is better then the other. Is one truly better then the other? Lets find out!

Let's start with coffee- my personal favorite.

Coffee can boost energy levels- the caffeine in coffee is absorbed in the blood stream right to the brain to give you an immediate energy boost.

Coffee is one of the very few natural substances that help burn fat. Studies have shown that the caffeine can boost metabolism rate 3-11%.

Coffee contains several important nutrients, including Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Manganese, Potassium, Magnesium and Niacin.

Coffee can help lower risk of diabetes, Alzheimer's and dementia. It can help protect the liver and has lots of antioxidants.

Coffee is also a natural diarrhetic.

Finally my favorite part, the smell- it can improve your mood, lessen stress levels and just generally make you happier.

Now on to tea;

There are many different kinds of tea and each may have different qualities, but we are going to focus on the general benefits of most teas and what they have in common.

Tea contains many antioxidants and can reduce risk of heart attack and stroke.

Tea helps aid weight loss and can lower cholesterol. It also helps protect bones.

Teas drinkers have a lower risk of skin, prostate, and breast cancer.

Tea keeps teeth white by changing the ph levels in your mouth to help protect against cavaties and can freshen breath.

Tea is great to help soothe the digestive system.

Like smelling coffee, tea can better your mood and lessen stress levels just by drinking it.

Whether you choose tea or coffee both have great physical and mental benefits.

Both can be made many different ways so everyone can find something they enjoy in any season, hot or cold.

So cozy up with your favorite blanket, put on your favorite show, and enjoy every sip of your favorite drink.

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.
