Get directions from the man himself.

The moment we have all been waiting for is finally here (and we didn't even know that we were waiting for it):

Are you sick of hearing a boring, annoying, robot voice giving you directions? Do you wish there was a cooler voice guiding you on your journey? Well, we are all in luck. Everyone's favorite voice on the planet is now a GPS setting. Have you ever said to yourself, "I wish Morgan Freeman could narrate my entire life?" So have I, but this is the next best thing. The fairly new app called "Waze," which is owned by Google, has recently added a new voice setting and it is none other than Morgan Freeman's. Apparently, his voice was the most requested addition to the navigation app by far, and this is not a surprise. He has literally played God...twice.

Just imagine the most soothing and wise sounding voice in the world guiding you to the nearest gas station or McDonald's. Not only does Morgan Freeman just tell you which turns to make, many of his phrases include inspirational messages too. One phrase included in the app is: "You've arrived. It's been my honor and duty to see you through this mission." That would make an average trip to Walmart seem way more interesting. And the best part is, all of this is totally free! All you have to do to get it is go to the app store and download "Waze" (for free). Once it has downloaded, you go to the settings icon shaped like a gear, click sound, then voice language, then Morgan Freeman, and you are ready to go.

Unfortunately, this amazing feature is not a permanent one. It is rumored that Morgan Freeman's voice is on "Waze" temporarily as an ad campaign for his role in the new movie: "London Has Fallen." The movie comes out on March 4th, and Morgan is playing the Vice President of the United States. It is a clever promoting strategy, but a very sad one. The exact date of when Freeman's voice will be pulled from the app is unknown, so you should hurry up and download Waze now before it is too late! Hopefully, they decide to extend the feature because of its popularity, but even if they don't, Waze still has other cool characters and voices to choose from. Supposedly, Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice will be making an appearance in the near future as well.

"Is there a movie I think I should have won an Oscar for? Yeah. All of them."

Yeah, we think so too, Morgan.

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.

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.
