How Girls Are Depicted: Movies vs. Reality

At a sleepover

Movies. Painting each others toe nails, watching rom-coms, and sitting on your stomach with your legs dangling gushing about your crush and puppies and butterflies.

Reality. High on your couch, sitting silently while watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall and once in a while saying out loud "he's kind of hot" in regards to Jason Segel.


Talking to friends

Movies. “O-M-G!"


Reailty. “DUDEEEE."


Discussing feelings

Movies. “Honestly (tears up), I just think that Ashley and I need to sit down together and have a long talk about what happened so I can tell her why I'm so hurt by what she did."


Reality.“Ashley's a b**ch."


Revenge

Movies. “I'm going to take a picture of her changing in the locker room and mass-text it to the entire school!"


Reality. “I'm not going to like her Facebook post about how she got into abroad. Also (angrily unlikes photo) consider yourself down to 10 likes on that Instagram from eight weeks ago."


Pictures

Movies. “No that's my bad side, switch with me!"


Reality. “No that's my bad side, switch with me!"

Some things are true, okay?

Eating habits

Moives. Salads are a girl's best friend!


Reality. You inhales Big Mac, snack wrap, 4 piece nugs, and medium fries with no regard for human life.


Outfits

Movies. Girls wear heels to class.


Reality. “Do I really even need to put on shoes today?"


Makeup

Movies. Turns to nearest item that provides a reflection and applies lip gloss.


Reality. You haven't worn lip gloss since 2005.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
