It's Winter. Are You Bored Yet?

Man, we must miss summer.

It's Winter. Are You Bored Yet?
Lou, indianagirlonabike

With semester coming to a close, going home sounds wonderful. Family, friends from high school, going back to your favorite coffee shop: it all sounds so perfect. UNLESS YOU LIVE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA, WHERE IT SNOWS AT LEAST 12 INCHES IN THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF A FOUR DAY BLIZZARD. Sadly, that is where I live. But while cooped up in this storm, I've been thinking about how I could entertain myself. So, if you live in a snowy area, or are just bored, here are some things that you could do!

1.) It's time to start a blog

I'm almost positive I started my Tumblr in a blizzard a few years back. Whether it's posting original works or browsing the latest memes and funky catch phrases, Tumblr is one of my favorite pass times. It's easy to get lost in the web and laugh.

2.) Binge watch your heart out

Recently I have been binge watching shows left and right. Not new ones all the time, because I can't find anything that makes me interested (PLEASE GIVE SUGGESTIONS). But Criminal Minds, has had my attention for the last few months. This show has a healthy 11 seasons on Netflix and ranges from 19 to 23 episodes, talk about BINGEING YOUR LIFE AWAY. Or I watch Lie to Me, definitely would recommend this show to everyone. It's about reading people's faces and seeing if they're lying. It has three seasons and roughly 13 episodes in each.

3.) SLEDDING

Ahh, yes. Wear a coat and make yourself comfortable as you go 10+ mph down a hill and laugh your heart out. The snow can get packed enough to feel hard so falling on it may hurt, just be sure to be careful.

4.) Browse the internet

Relevant to blogging, but with this you can shop on Amazon or thisiswhyimbroke.com. They both offer tremendous discounts on funky things that could make someone laugh or cringe -- your choice.

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.
