Occasionally, I like to check to see how much the Mega Millions lottery is up to. Currently, it is $40 million. That is crazy!

Then I get to thinking... What would I do with all that money if I won?

I thought about it for a second and decided I'd like to share exactly what I'd do. Here are my top 10 ways I'd use my money if I won the lottery.

1. A long and relaxing vacation!

The first thing I would want to do is go on vacation. I would probably first go to Disney then book a cruise. I would totally relax.

2. Donate some!

I've always said that if I won the lottery, I would donate some of it. This would include charities as well as schools in my area.

3. Buy my dream house!

Getting my dream house would be... well, a DREAM!

4. Buy my dream car!

It would most likely be multiple dream cars because I would want a sports car, a truck, and an SUV. Not only would I buy my dream car, but I would by my mom and dad one, too.

5. Travel!

I would love to travel everywhere. Europe, Asia, across the United States, everywhere! I want to experience something new.

6. Hire a chef!

I would never want to cook again, so of course, the obvious solution is to hire someone to do that.

7. Go on a shopping spree!

A shopping spree is not fun by yourself, so my closest friends would be included to shop 'til we drop.

8. Pay off my student loans... and my sister's!

Buh-bye, debt. Nothing would be more satisfying than paying all of our debt off.

9. Go to every concert I want to when I want to!

Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, and so many more.

Honestly, I'd probably just go to a concert because I could at this point.

10. Share the money with my mom and dad!

Of course, a lottery is only fun when you have people to share it with. My parents have done so much for me, so it's the least I can do for them.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
