Nobody wants to be at work all day

After a long work day, nobody ever wants to do anything.

Some people work out, then go home and sleep. Some people go home, eat then sleep. Some people have kids they look after. Some people have other obligations.

This doesn't mean that you can't have fun ands enjoy life. Just because you work and have other responsibilities does not mean that you can't enjoy your time. Even if its just for an hour or less – it is better than missing out.

It is so important to at least do one fun thing a day. Even if you don't have that much time- an hour or half an hour of doing something you love can make your day better.

My goal for this summer is to at least do one fun thing a day after work, even if it is taking a walk with my sister or getting ice cream with a friend. Some adventures are so worth it, no matter how little or long they take.

Its important to enjoy the time you have, and even though work is extremely important- a lot of people get caught up in the work life and forget to enjoy themselves.

Even grabbing a coffee after work and sitting at the coffee shop for five minutes is a time to relax and unwind.

I can't stress how important it is to have a good time and to enjoy every minute of every day. Even if you're working- make sure to enjoy the walk or drive into work or your morning coffee.

The other day, I had work from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., but I still went to the beach after. I haven't and a beach day since last month and since I work during the week and during the weekends the beaches are are crowded, I thought it would be a goof post work adventure.

My friends and I went to the beach and enjoyed it while we could, then we had a nice dinner out. I still went to the gym – even though it was after the beach. I filled my obligations and was still able to enjoy the day.

During my lunch the other day, I was able to go to J.P licks and get a smoothie. This just made my day, and it took a short time but I enjoyed every second of it.

This would not have been possible if I didn't decide to do something fun every day.

Remember to always make the best of everything, and to enjoy all that you do.

Just think: are you going to remember the long hours of work or the adventures you had?

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.

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.
