The Good Things About School

It's the little things that count.

School is one big bummer. Nobody wants to go. It truly does suck. But even though you may hate it more than anything, there are some good things to do.

1. Organization

For me, by the end of summer I am a hot mess who can't get out of bed. School fixes that for me. It builds me a routine that I can follow and makes me get out of the house.

2. New clothes

When was going shopping for back to school clothes not the best thing ever?

3. Wearing those new clothes and stunting on people

Walking down those hallways and knowing you look good in front of all the people you don't like.

4. Seeing your favorite teachers again for the first time

We all have a couple teachers that make school worth it for us.

5. Reconnecting with old friends

You may have some friends you didn't get to see over the summer that you miss. And school's the best excuse to socialize.

6. Playing sports

If you're an athletic person, school means the start of fall sports, the season you've been waiting for.

7. Clubs

There are clubs for almost anyone in school. Meeting other people with mutual interests is never a bad thing.

8. School crushes

They may be dumb and not worth your time, but it is a great way to kill time and procrastinate in school. Giving your attention to a cute someone makes school a little bit for fun.

9. Field trips

Need I say more?

10. Movie time

You may not be in elementary school anymore and it may be a boring educational movie, but at least movie time always equals nap time.

11. Learning

You know, the whole sole reason that you're actually there. Broadening your horizons and becoming a better person is always the best part.

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.
