10 Tips To Get Your Life Together
Funniest Memes

1. Get a planner.

Planners are an easy way to keep track of your life through assignments, meetings, etc. The average person that has their life together has one.

2. Use said planner.

Having a planner is one thing, using it is another. Use your planner. Plan your work and work your plan.

3. Set goals.

Figure out what it is exactly that you want to do and figure out how to do it. Set reasonable goals and strive to achieve them.

4. Be determined.

If you've made it this far reading the article, then you must be at least a little motivated. Also motivation doesn't matter; it's fleeting. What does matter is determination, following long term goals.

5. Clean your living space.

Decluttering your living space is symbolic of decluttering your life. Clean your room/apartment/whatever & get your life together.

6. Find an outlet for stress.

Stress can easily overwhelm a person, especially when they don't feel like they have things together. Find something that you enjoy doing that brings your stress level down.

7. Start a routine.

A good habit is hard to break. Start a routine and make yourself stick to it.

8. Drink more water.

Everyone I know that has their life together (not including me, I don't have my life together) drinks a ton of water. The average human functions best when two to three liters of water is consumed daily. Being healthy also helps you get your life together.

9. Exercise.

Not only does exercise help with health, it also helps a person feel like they have their life together. Even if they don't.

10. Realize that it isn't possible to have your life 'together.'

You cannot control everything in your life and it is therefore impossible to have your life together. You may create and maintain the illusion of having your life together, but you can't truly have your life together.

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.
