How I Met Your Mother... Told by How I Met Your Mother

Through the month of November I binge watched the entire 9 seasons of How I Met Your Mother. It took me 30 DAYS. I did the math, it is about 3 days worth of TV. How I met Your Mother isn't my favorite show in the entire world, but was definitely worth the watch. I have found some episodes are slow and not that great, but the ones that are great, ARE GREAT. It is a good show to watch all the way through and go back and watch some of your favorite episodes.

Congratulations! You have now embarked on a 9 season journey. It is not always going to be easy, but after season 1, you are a committed viewer. If you are like Barney, any challenge you take, must be finished.

"I don't know if I'll like it. It doesn't seem like my kind of show." We have all said it before watching a show. Then you get attached. You didn't think you would, but you really start to love every single character (especially Marshall and Lily).

When you really start to see yourself in the characters you feel like they are your own friends. I'll laugh to myself and think "Oh typical Marshall and Barney." I am a crazy lady.

Thank you Ted for giving us Ohioans the best meme of the 21st century. A study was conducted and 1 in 10 twitter bios of Ohioans is this quote. That is a lie, but seriously it is so common.

When Ted still goes after Robin after like 8 years. You can't keep going through this emotional turmoil. It is just too much too handle.

Everything in this show takes you through an emotional roller coaster. You didn't think you would, but even the smallest event can throw you for a loop.

When you finally get to the last season and every single episode is so amazing. The whole weekend of the wedding is just too juicy and good.

I am not going to say anything about the finale, but this is exactly how I felt.

If you are looking for a new show and have a lot of time, How I Met Your Mother is a good choice. Stick it out through the first season and I'm sure you'll get just as hooked as I did.

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.
