A Day in the Life of Gus Gus

Welcome. This is a look inside my life. My full name is Gus Gus the Hamster and I’m going to show you what a normal day looks like for me. I start the day by-

…

Hello. My name is Gus. Sorry about that pause. I fell asleep. I start my day at 11:30 at night. The air smells like carrots so I sniff around my bedroom door. Sniff sniff. No carrots. Quick twenty-minute nap. Up again and down the tubes. The carrots! Munch munch munch pause for water munch munch munch. Full stomach, time to run to Timbuktu!

I run for hours. The humans complain it bothers them so I keep doing it. They don’t understand how boring my home is with all the tubes. I need more wheels. I heard talk of a trampoline. Those tubes? Are just hallways. No fun for me. Run run run pause for water run run run.

Then my day is over and I sleep at the late hour of 6:30 in the morning. I live a full life and sleep for the rest of the-WHAT IS THAT EARTHQUAKE WHO IS SCREAMING AT ME

This documentary was almost over but then the humans woke up and started SCREAMING. Leave me alone. They talk but I just hear a loud fog horn that interrupts whatever I’m doing. Sleeping. Eating. Running on my wheel.

Listen to this! Remember how I said the humans don’t like the wheel? Sometimes they decide it’s “too loud” for them and they hold my wheel. Until. It. Stops.

Have you ever heard of anything so rude?

I’m saving up to buy my own apartment. Far away from them and their “cuddles.” Maybe I can buy new humans, too. But enough of that for now. It is time for me to-

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.
