This Is Why July Has Probably Been The Worst Month Of The Year For You

Because Mercury is in retrograde. That's why.

Did you just find out your boyfriend cheated on you with your best friend? Girl, it's fine! Don't you worry. Mercury is in retrograde.

Are you failing your summer class that you paid so much money to take? Don't sweat it. Mercury is in retrograde.

Did you completely total your car and no longer have one to drive? It'll all be fine because Mercury! Is! In! Retrograde!

Are you financially unstable? Emotionally and physically done with your life? Blame it on the fact that Mercury is in retrograde.

You don't have friends? Neither does Mercury.

Did you get pregnant because you were careless and didn't use protection? Guess what! Now you can name that kid Mercury.

Do you keep spending money you don't have on things you don't need? So does Mercury.

Is our planet dying? Yes. And Mercury is in retrograde.

You want to raid Area 51 and "see them aliens"? Well, they don't want to see you. Because Mercury is in retrograde.

Oh, you just graduated and you want to change your major? You can't, sis. Mercury is in retrograde.

Do you feel stuck in your life and like you're not moving in a positive direction? Mercury isn't either.

Are you frustrated easily? Do people piss you off and get you so angry all you want to do is curse them out? Mercury would want that. Go do it.

Do you keep blaming all of the bad things that have been happening to you on yourself or other people? Literally stop being a child and blame it on Mercury.

If none of this has happened to you, you have many reasons to fear. You have to ruin your own life so Mercury doesn't do it for you. No one is safe!

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.
