PSL Girls Step Aside, I'll Keep Sipping On My Iced Coffee Even When It's 30 Degrees Outside
Heather DeSalvo

Iced coffee has become a meme at this point. Tired? Iced coffee (obviously). Happy? Iced coffee. Socializing? Iced coffee. Sad? Iced coffee. The answer is always iced coffee.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. I don't know what I'd do without iced coffee. I sound really basic right now, but I don't even care.

Even as it gets colder outside, I still find myself wanting iced coffee. Aside from hot tea every once in a while, and I do love my London Fog drinks, I'm an iced coffee kind of girl.

What makes iced coffee so special, anyway? It's coffee, watered down at best. I have no idea what makes it so good. Maybe it's that it literally jolts you awake since it's so cold. Warm drinks make me sleepy. I have no idea why it's so hard for me, but I need to make the switch to hot coffee because it's SO EXPENSIVE to drink iced coffee for some reason.

I understand that iced coffee isn't just coffee over ice, or at least it's not supposed to be. However, at some coffee shops, that's exactly how they make it. For some reason, the ice I have at home melts too quickly and my coffee tastes awful. I can't master the homemade iced coffee, even though I want to.

If it's 30 degrees outside, you'll see me drinking iced coffee. I know it's weird. I know it makes no sense. Now that I've made the switch, I can't go back.

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.
