"No Tomorrow" is a romantic comedy- drama. The series follows a woman named Evie, which is a risk-averse quality-control assessor who falls for free-spirited, thrill seeker Xavier. Xavier claims that there is an asteroid heading straight towards earth. He believes that humankind only has eight months and twelve days until the asteroid hits and blasts humankind out of existence. With the help of her friends, they try to find out if he can be taken seriously or not. While doing so they complete a bucket list.

Evie and Xavier each carry around a little book that they write in. Each item on the list is numbered to keep track of how many different adventures, fears they overcome, and little things that they always wanted to do.

Then I got to thinking if I found out I had eight months and twelve days left, would I be happy with everything I have done so far? The answer would be 'NO'. I haven't seen or done half the things that I have wanted to. Life is about living it to the fullest- life is not about how much money you have or what kind of car you drive. Life is about learning to live. Here are just some ideas of adventures and fears that I'm talking about:

1. Surf in Bali

2. Take a ride in a hot-air balloon

3. Swim with sharks with no cage

4. Climb the highest peak in the world

5. See the Northern Lights

6. Crash a huge Party

7. Run in a marathon

8. Stay in an Ice Hotel

9. Go skydiving

10. Go Zorbing

11. Attend the Olympics

Let's start living life. Don't be scared to go outside your comfort zone and try remarkable things. Live life to the fullest.

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.

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.
