Guilt Free Reminders That Black Friday Shopping Was Worth It

Well guys, Thanksgiving is over and we have less than a month until Christmas. If you were anything like me last week you counted down the days until Black Friday commenced. And while yes, you should have been listening to Great Aunt Carol and Grandpa Joe talk about the finer times of life; but we all know you and I were both checking out the bags, tops and beanies and how we were going to smash and grab the minute our feet got over the threshold at F21. Its okay, we’ve all been there and here are some reasons why we won’t be regretful this year!

Once-In-A-Life-Time-Deals

I mean seriously what other time will Aeropostale have 60% hauls?! Never that’s when. And don’t get me started on the Buy 3 Get 3! You and I both know that we got 12 and our sweater game will be so strong come spring semester.

Technical Family Bonding

So maybe its not exactly the same as playing Yahtzee or Monopoly for 6 hours straight but nothing brings family together like a cramped line outside of Bath and Body Works am I right?!

Limited Time Items

So Black Friday just so happens to be in the middle of the best season for delicious smelling perfumes and body scrubs. So it’s totally okay to buy half of Bath and Body and all the statement sweaters at Delia’s and Macy’s because when else will this be acceptable? It’s okay,my room look like a mini mall too. We can cope together.



Freebies

Let’s not forget about the freebies! Who doesn’t like free stuff? I mean granted you have to buy stuff to get free stuff buy hey not complaining here. I’m pretty sure not going Black Friday Shopping and getting free stuff is a cardinal sin…well at least it is in my world… and everyone who went Black Friday Shopping for an Apple Product at Target in hopes of spending enough for a FREE Gift Card…No just me? You missed out.


So my shopaholics, free yourself of post Black Friday shopping. You have the rest of the year to wear all the things you’ve bought and to convince yourself you really needed that sequenced glitter mini and cropped sweater. I know I will.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
