The LA Rams have been one of the better teams of 2017 and have taken the NFC West by storm. Jared Goff is proving why the Rams gave up so much to draft him at number one in 2016, Todd Gurley is showing why he is an elite running back in this league and all of the receivers are contributing. Oh yeah, and the defense is still one of the best in the league.

Let’s take a look at the upcoming games for Los Angeles. This week the face a Houston Texans team without Deshaun Watson, which should result in an easy win and opportunity to try some things on both sides of the ball. Next week they have the Minnesota Vikings, which I think can go either way depending on which team has more momentum going into the week. Same situation goes with the New Orleans Saints, who the Rams face week 12. I think if the Rams take 1 of those games they will still be in good shape.

The Rams should once again beat the Arizona Cardinals in Arizona with a deflated Drew Stanton at quarterback in week 13. Mark week 14 on your calendar, the Eagles come into town in what could be one of the most thrilling matchups of 2017. I think Philadelphia just has to many weapons for the Rams to overcome in this one and I could see them dropping this game. Week 15 is the rematch of the Rams and Seahawks but this time it is in Seattle. This is a pivotal game for the Rams, I could see this one going either way just based on the familiarity with one another.

Week 16 the Rams face to Titans in a Christmas eve matchup in Nashville. This is a trap game for LA, the Titans are a very good team and the Rams need to prepare for this one. It will be a battle but I think the Rams will go out and get this game.

Best case scenario, the Rams go either 11-5 or 10-6. As long as they keep pace with Seattle every week, the Rams will make the playoffs and I could see them making it to the NFC Championship.

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.

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.
