What are fangirls and fanboys you ask? Fangirls and fanboys are extreme fans of television shows, movies, book, bands, and any other thing that you can get obsessed with or be a fan of. The possibilities are endless really. When it comes to being a fangirl and fanboy, there are some things that we know better than anyone else. Below are some of those things!

1. Screaming and Squealing Is Part of Being a Fangirl and Fanboy

When something crazy or unexpected happens in our favorite television show or book, we tend to scream or squeal. We flail our arms and sound equivalent to that of a tea kettle whistling. People look at us like we've lost our minds, which is understandable because we have once we've reached this point.

2. New Episodes, Movies, Books, Albums, Etc. Are The Best

If a new episode or album comes out, we go crazy. Fangirls and fanboys aren't known for calm reactions when it comes a release of new content. It's an indescribable combination of excitement, happiness, and uncertainty as to what the new content will be like.

3. Fanfiction is Confusing

Fanfiction can be both a blessing and a curse. Finding some that sticks to the characters' personalities as well as having good grammar, is hard to come by. Don't even get me started on it having a decent plot. Although when you find the works that actually meet your standards, it's a glorious feeling.

4. Family Doesn't Get It

Most of the time family doesn't get it. Some family members like a sibling or on a rare occasion, a parent, might understand what it means to be a fangirl or fanboy. Overall your family just looks at you like you have lost it and don't get why you've been screaming while you listen to the same song over and over.

5. Actors, Authors, YouTubers, and Band Members Make Our World Go Round

There are no words that can be used to describe how appreciative us fangirls and fanboys are of the people who provide our content and help it become reality. We wouldn't have the things we love and obsess over without the work of the actors, authors, and band members that make it happen.

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.

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.
