Today is the BEST day ever. Do you want to know why?

IT'S NATIONAL PASTA DAY!!

It seems like everyday there is something to celebrate. A few examples include national pizza day, national boyfriend day, and national dog day. Most of these "national holidays" do not seem to have any reason or truth behind them, but this does not stop people from celebrating them. I know I definitely posted a picture of my cat for national cat day. The trend behind these holidays seem to be talked about the most on Twitter & Instagram. Even on food holidays some restaurants are giving out special deals for what ever holiday is being celebrated. (Check out some pasta related deals here.)

These holidays seem to be made up and maybe there are but they bring people joy. Whether it is telling the world that is the day to celebrate your favorite food or national farmers day (yes that is a real thing) it makes people feel like they are sharing a part of themselves with the world

.

I, for one, LOVE pasta, or anything that is a carb or bad for me. I am so glad that there is a day for the love of my food life: pasta. Seriously, ever since I was a little girl, if you asked me what my favorite food was I would always say spaghetti with meat sauce. Finally there is a day to celebrate the worlds best food. It sure makes me miss Italy, because if you think you've had good pasta in America then your mind will be blown once you reach the great country of Italy. I highly suggest celebrating this day with your favorite pasta dish and if you are gluten free, then try spaghetti squash- it's actually pretty good!


Now, go off and eat Italy's gift to 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.

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.
