January 30th Is National Croissant Day

If there is any day that you can rightfully eat bread and not feel guilty about it, this is it.

It is January 30th and as such, it is National Croissant Day. This is a day that is celebrated by eating all sorts of croissants! Croissants are buttery, crescent-shaped rolls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If this explanation doesn't make you want to eat croissants now that you have an excuse to do so, then nothing probably will.

My entire life I have loved croissants. They've always been a treat that I couldn't necessarily get very often because my mom wouldn't make them all the time and she definitely wouldn't even buy them. Well, she didn't buy them until she found good ones at Costco. We now often have croissants in our home regularly and there is no way anyone will complain about that because we all love croissants.

The history of the croissant is an interesting one, the credit for the croissant we know today is given to an Austrian military officer named, August Zang, who opened up a Viennese bakery during WWII in 1939. This bakery was in Paris, France and introduced Parisians to Viennese styles of baking.

While it is cool and fun reading about croissants, I know it is always better to actually eat a croissant so, you should head to your nearest Starbucks as they often have the best croissants!

When you get your croissant make sure you take a picture with it or of it and post it on social media to prove that you are celebrating this wonderful national holiday! Eating bread has never been more guilt-less. Do it. You wont regret it!

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.
