Do you ever wish that life came with a "How-To" manual? Ever feel like a plastic bag? Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again. Are you ready to learn about the ultimate life hacks? Well, lucky for you the comical genius, Michael G. Scott is here to offer a few words of encouragement. Let's face it, every now and then our lives become a mess, and we just can't seem to get it together. Michael is just like the rest of us. He has been through it all and still remains true to himself. Without further ado, I present to you a "How-To: Succeed in Life" according to Michael G. Scott. Enjoy the lessons of this wise man.



Lesson #1

Appreciate what you have, and know that everything happens for a reason. You can handle whatever life throws your way.


Lesson #2

Buy items that say "You Are The Best," so people know that you are the best.


Lesson #3

Make sure your loved ones are aware of just how much you love them.


Lesson #4

Dancing is a fun stress reliever. By the end of a song, you'll feel like you are on top of the world. Never fight the feeling, always embrace it.


Lesson #5

The worst thing you can do is keep your feelings all bottled up. Always be open and honest about how you feel about your friends, family and co-workers. They'll appreciate it, and you'll feel better about yourself knowing that they know how you feel.


Lesson #6

Don't forget to have fun. Going out and letting loose can make the bad times good, and the good times better.


Lesson #7

Figure out what your greatest assets are and own them! Remind yourself how awesome you are, even when you want to quit everything and nap.


Lesson #8

Know who you are and stand by it. Don't let anyone or anything stray you from who you are.


Lesson #9

Befriend your enemies. It takes more energy to hate someone then it does to accept them for who they are.


Lesson #10

Be spontaneous. Go out and make memories with your friends; stop sitting in silence, staring at your phone and do something fun together!


Lesson #11

Love what you do, do what you love. Find something your passionate about, and never stop doing it.


Lesson #12

Be thankful. Always.


Lesson #13

Hug everyone. Let them know you really appreciate them.


Lesson #14

Make a great comeback when you lose sight of who you are.


Lesson #15

Know that it is OK to ask for help.


Lesson #16

Stand up for what you believe in, even if you are standing alone.


Lesson #17

Eat ice cream for breakfast... at least once.


Lesson #18

Last, but certainly not least, accept yourself for who you are. Most importantly, remember that not everyone is going to like you. What matters is if like you who you are.

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.

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.
