All that is ever on the news is depressing things. You just get so sad watching story after story and someone dying or someone getting sick or someone missing or even about an animal dying. I have a hard time watching the news because of that fact. Of course it is a part of life, and bad things happen all the time. It may be hard to accept sometimes, but it is the sad truth. There are even people that are in this world that will try to ruin your good mood. Why they do it, I have no idea, but you can't let them win! You have to stay happy! So I've put some things in this article that will put a smile on your face, and add some happiness in not only your life, but on your timeline. Please enjoy! :)

1. SpongeBob!

First of all, if you don't know what episode of "SpongeBob" this is, you need to go watch it ASAP. This episode and just about every episode of "SpongeBob" makes me laugh!

2. Dogs and cats.

I mean who doesn't love dogs and cats. Look at them. They are just so cute! Just about every dog and cat I see is super cute and puts a smile on my face.

3. "FRIENDS".

Everybody might not love "Friends" the way I do, but I know there are a good majority of people in this world that will understand why not only this line, but this show can turn a frown upside down.

4. The beach!!!

Really any vacation will make you happy and less stressed, but for me, it's the beach! I could go there no matter what the weather, season, or what day of the week it is. The beach is my favorite place, and my favorite places always make me instantly happy!

5. Friends and family!

I can go see any friend or family member and if I tell them I'm down or upset, they know just how to make me happy again!

I could probably list about a million things that make me happy and not everyone will agree with the things I posted because these things might not make everyone happy like they do me. The main point of this article though is to think of things that make you happy when you're feeling down. There will always be bad people in the world, and bad things will always happen, but you have to try and stay positive and happy. Try to see the good in every situation, no matter how bad it might seem. Don't let things kill your mood, which can be hard to do, but when you start to try hard and make being happy a habit, you'll never go back. You will be so much happier, and have a better outlook on life. People will always try to ruin your good mood because that's what some people love to do, but you can't let them do it. Keep that smile on your face, because smiles are contagious! :)

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.
