12 Things You Only Understand If You Hate Shopping

I'm cringing at the thought.

12 Things You Only Understand If You Hate Shopping

Disclaimer: I don't hate clothes. I love clothes. I hate people.

And when I'm shopping, the amount of people that are slow, sweaty and making out at the nearest fountain are overwhelming. I just want to get what I came for, grab a drink and leave, but NOPE. Shopping is an all day commitment. One in which I need to take a long ass nap afterwards because I'm exhausted from sighing under my breath all day.

1. "Wanna go shopping?" is not a groupchat text that makes you squeal

I love you guys so I'll go anyways.

2. You need to mentally prepare before going

You can't enter war without a strategy

3. Slow. People. EVERYWHERE.

MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT IF YOU'RE GOING TO WALK SLOW.

4. When the employees ask if you need help with anything

I'm gonna say "No, thank you though!" and smile because I'm a wuss.

5. Being bombarded by people at kiosks

Spray something in my face and I will make a scene.

6. Looking like a whole different person in the dressing room

Do I look like this all the time?? Why didn't anyone tell me?

7. Trying on jeans. End of story.

My thighs are just too **thiq~*

8. When the cashier tells you your total

UH WHAT.

9. And staring at your earnings in disappointment

This wasn't worth half of my paycheck.

10. Screaming children

Another reminder on why I'll never reproduce.

11. Having it all be worth it once you reach that food court

Soft pretzels with cheese and pizza and mozzarella sticks and a sub with cookies, please.

12. Online shopping for the next two months

It's the only way I know how to get it done quick and painlessly.

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.
