Mondays are hard.

Really hard.

Especially when your weekend was less than relaxing. Oftentimes, I find it difficult to get through the dreary, exhausting first day of the week. I find myself pointing out all the awful things that have happened or exist in the world as if Monday is somehow magnifying these things in my life.

The problem with this, though, is that it doesn't exactly make you chipper and ready to conquer your day when you spend all your time thinking about all the bad stuff that's happening around you. So, today, in honor of Monday, I've listed 10 things that will brighten up your manic Monday.

1. There are only four more weekdays left.

We will totally make it through. Maybe. We'll probably survive.

2. The sun is probably going to come up tomorrow.


It's gonna be beautiful, man.

3. People are getting married, falling in love, and having babies right now.


Maybe you're sitting in your bed, eating ice cream, and watching Season 11 of Grey's Anatomy for the eighteenth time, but somewhere out there, love is winning.

4. There are so many dogs left to pet in the world.

Even if you are SO done with people, there are always going to be sweet, wonderful dogs.

5. There are so many icecreams left to eat.

Hang on for the Rocky Road, man.

6. Summer is on its way!

Tanlines, no school, and sleeping in. This is the good life.

7. If you're exhausted today, tonight's sleep is going to be even better.

It's gonna feel so good to fall into your bed tonight.

8. Only 37 Mondays left.

You've already gotten through 16 Mondays!

9. Time is continuing to tick on, even if it feels like it isn't.

You're totally making progress.

10. You might get to eat pizza today?!

Everyday is a new oppourunity to get pizza. For that, we soldier on.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
