Contrary to popular belief, there are many uses for a smartphone besides texting and taking selfies. In fact, there are many convenient apps that will help ease the pain of adulthood when it comes to your health, grocery shopping, maintaining a relationship, reading the news and navigating.

1. Plant Nanny

Plant Nanny is an app that helps encourage you to drink water in the most adorable way. Firstly, it determines how much water you should be drinking based on your activity level and body weight. Each time you drink a class of water, you water your virtual plant with the same amount. Eventually, you'll end up with a beautiful garden of virtual plants.

2. Waze

You may think Google maps is all you need to satisfy your navigation needs, but Waze takes it to the next level. Waze allows users to report heavy traffic, polic sightings, accidents, and other hazards. Waze also plans your route according traffic and sometimes actively changes your route while you're driving in order to get you to your destination as fast as possible.

3. Couple

Couple is an app for your and your significant other. It is very convenient for long distance couples or couples who don't see each other often throughout the day. Couple allows the two of you to communicate in one place. Any photos or videos you exchange are saved in a folder. There is a calendar feature that is useful for planning and keeping track of important dates. You can also choose to protect the app with a passcode for the sake of privacy.

4. Grocery Pal

It can be difficult to effectively plan a trip to the grocery store. With Grocery Pal, you are able to see sales and specials happening at the grocery stores in your area. You can also use it to print coupons. It also allows you to keep track of prices and products with the barcode scanner.

5. BriefMe

You don't have to watch the news to be an informed citizen. BriefMe allows you to browse through the top news headlines. This is includes all news sources—both liberal and conservative. You can read any article that catches your eye, and you will have a general idea of what's going on in the world.

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.
