6 Reasons Why Nicholas Sparks Gives Girls False Hope
vh1

Nicholas Sparks is known for writing some of the most romantic novels that have turned into the biggest romance blockbusters. Girls read these books and watch these movies and dream and hope that one day they can have a Nicholas Sparks romance. Sorry to break it to you ladies, but IT IS UNREALISTIC. Look...I'm not going to sit here and say I don't want that for myself one day, but c'mon: Nicholas Sparks love stories just won't happen. I am not going to lie when I say I didn't jump for joy when Will switched schools to be close to Ronnie in the Last Song and I'm going to admit I bawled my eyes at the end of A Walk to Remember, but that's my point exactly: it is so hard to find people that will create these miraculous love stories. Nicholas Sparks makes love out to be something so amazing and love stories like that are so unattainable. So I guess we're just going to have to keep dreaming and thank Nicholas Sparks for ruining our idea of love.


1. No on is going to write someone 365 letters.

In this society, we'd be lucky to get a text message every once in a while, besides the "come over" text.


2. Cowboys like Luke Collins aren't real.

They're not going to take you horseback riding and or make you a moonlit picnic (we can dream though ladies...we can dream).

3) Summer flings end with breaking your heart and there is no guy that will go up to you, say"you're different than all the other girls" and actually mean it.

4) Your love at 17 will not be your love after being seperated for 30 years.

5) Yeah it would be nice if the jock didn't just look for the beauty and if high school relationships did indeed last.

6) A man isn't going to find a photograph of a woman and believe that she somehow holds the key to his destiny and search for her.


So ladies, there you have it: 6 reasons why we sulk away and watch these movies when we are sad or upset. For some reason we think Nicholas Sparks has all the answers, but realistically all he does is throw salt on our wounds and keeps us hoping that we can live in a fairytale. WELL, NICHOLAS SPARKS: THANK YOU FOR GIVING US FALSE HOPES (but low-key I am excited to see The Choice.

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.
