Crushing Hesitations About Crushes

I want to start off by reassuring everyone that this isn't a post forcing you into a relationship. It also isn't attributing love to being solely between two people; it may be between you and pizza. Some people are truly happy being single and independent, and there is nothing wrong with that. Rather, I'm hoping to shed some light on people who may be ready for a relationship but have hesitations. Since I am not an expert on this topic, I brought in some well-known artists to help me (and you) out.

1. I'm Crazy!

I'll love you with all the madness in my soul - "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen

If Bruce can do it, so can you!

2. I'm too sad a person

And only she chose me when I'm blue - "Only You" by Mac Demarco

Mac Demarco is sometimes sad. But he still has a partner—just look at that adorable smile on his face!


3. I'm too busy for love.

Real love, it finds you somewhere with your back to it - "Real Love" by Beach House

As my mom always says, "Love happens when you're busy doing other things." I'm at college, she sends me cookies. Busy -> cookies -> love

4. I don't have any money

She gives me presents, with her presence alone - "Angel" by Jack Johnson

Chances are, neither do they. Get creative (or cheesy).

5. I'm too nerdy

Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight - "Teach Me Tonight" by Frank Sinatra (my favorite version by Amy Winehouse).

Teach someone a little math, learn a little about chemistry

6. No one's strong enough for me.

But what about...

JOHHHHNNNN CENNNNNAAAA!!!! *trumpets blaring*


6. I can't do long distance.

Oh baby there ain't no mountain high enough, Ain't no valley low enough, Ain't no river wide enough, To keep me from getting to you babe - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

This song came out before there was even Skype or FaceTime. #noexcuses

Look people. If Kanye West can learn to love someone other than himself, then so can you.

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.
