Is It October Yet?

No, I'm not looking forward to Pumpkin Spice Lattes, haunted houses or even Halloween. Those don't even compare to how excited I am for hockey season: my favorite season of them all.

October means that after about three and a half long months, I can finally turn on the TV and watch a live hockey game.

October means that I get to break the bank buying tickets for the best seats for the best price.

October means that I get to wear hockey jerseys all the time and it's socially acceptable.

October means that if I got out to a restaurant and they aren't playing a hockey game and one is on, then I am automatically upset.

October means that Joe Louis Arena is my favorite place to be.

October means that Hockeytown is my second favorite place to be.

October means that I get to see if the teams put their new draftees to work or just benched them.

October means that I can start scheduling my life and schooling around hockey games.

October means that I can set up my fantasy league with all of my favorite players.

October means that Stanley Cup predictions are already brewing.

October means that my phone lights up every two minutes between the hours of 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. because I'm getting score updates.

October means that I wish I was financially capable of holding season tickets.

October means that if you're rooting for a team other than the Red Wings, then you're doing it wrong.

October means that all of the bandwagon Blackhawks fans come out from hiding.

October means that I yell at my phone (good or bad) and my friends ask me what happened and all I have to say is hockey.

October means that I can start putting team merchandise on my Christmas list.

October means that I can finally play NHL 17.

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.
