A List Of Things I'd Rather Do Than Clean

Cleaning is one of the most boring things in the whole entire world. I don't consider myself a particularly organized person, but I'm not completely gross either. I just think there are more important things to do with my time than make things looks pretty when they're only going to get messy again. So instead of cleaning my room like I'm supposed to be doing right now (sorry, mom) I'm going to write a list of things that I think are more important than cleaning. Enjoy.

1. Netflix

2. Watching Grey's Anatomy

3. Taking a walk

4. Making a sandwich

5. Calling up an old friend

6. Building a pillow fort

7. Online shopping

8. Painting a picture

9. Attemping DIY projects

10. Putting on a puppet show

11. Plotting revenge against everyone who has done you wrong

12. Taking a bath

13. Learning how to play chess

14. Teaching your dog how to jump through a hoop

15. Putting on a fashion show

16. Feeding the homeless

17. Playing a board game

18. Painting an old lady's toe nails

19. Singing Christmas carols around your neighborhood

20. Creepily driving past your ex's house

21. Taking voice lessons

22. Becoming a Broadway superstar

23. Getting discovered by Steven Spielberg

24. Having a movie made about you

25. Becoming famous overnight

26. Having a mental breakdown

27. Shaving your head like Brittany Spears

28. Checking yourself into rehab

29. Taking a nap

30. Hiding the evidence

31. Starting a garden

So whenever you are told to clean by your parents/spouse, just remember this list and remember that there is so much more than life than just cleaning.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
