My Favorite Friday Night

It isn't what you would expect from a college girl.

My Favorite Friday Night
Summer Jam Down

When you hear the word "Friday," a burst of excitement probably rushes into your mind. It means the end of the normal work week, or a labor intensive week at college, or even the craziest week of your life being a parent.

Friday means the weekend has arrived!

Everyone has their own agenda for what they think Friday nights should be like. Well, I would love to tell you what my favorite Friday night looks like.

Unless I am working, you will find me with my makeup off, pj's on and sprawled out on the couch. My school week is pretty hectic right now and I am struggling to keep up, so my Friday nights are my one night of relaxation. To be honest, it is pure bliss in my eyes.

I feel like every picture I see on Facebook or Instagram is someone boasting how awesome their lives are. It feels like they are gloating to the world that they lead an exciting, adventurous lifestyle. I even fall into that trap sometimes (who doesn't?!). If I were to post a picture of my Friday night, I am pretty sure it would not snag the attention of very many people.

BUT WHO CARES?

I love that I spend my Friday nights catching up on my favorite Netflix shows, reading a book I am not required to read, going on Pokemon Go expeditions with my husband, and spending some time with Jesus. While I don't post pictures of this part of my life very often, I think my version of Friday nights are pretty fantastic!

Everyone has a choice of how they want to spend their time. For some it may be going to a college party, others may choose to hang out with friends, and I can bet that many people love staying in for the night. We all have our preferences, and that's okay! My best friend is my husband so I think I get a two for one deal on that. ;)

What's your favorite way to spend a Friday night?

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.
