My Friends Are My World

With them, my world crumbles or gets built.

Friends can either bring you up or bring you down, here are some key things to look for in choosing a friend. Believe it or not you can actually choose the friends you associate with. Never feel like you "have to be someone's friend". Good friends are the following:

1. They are the best thing in your life.

If I'm sad and need some encouragement, I know that I can always go to one (or all) of my friends and they will be there for me. If my car breaks down and my mom can't come to help me, my friends will definitely be there in 2.5 seconds. The truest friends will always be there.

2. "Show me your five closest friends, and I'll show you your future."

If your life isn't going the way that you want it to, you can pretty much chalk it up to the friends that you're hanging out with. People attract alike people, so if you're wondering why your life is spiraling, it may be your friends influencing your decisions. Make sure that the people in your life don't suck the life out of you. Get rid of the vampires in your life, and learn to understand that it's okay. You'll be thankful for cutting ties with people that aren't good for you later.


3. I never wonder if my friends are talking behind my back.

If you have a good set of friends around you, you'll never wonder if they're talking behind your back. You'll never wonder if they will back stab you. The level of trust and peace that comes with a good friend means the world to your future. Connections and friendships can make or break you.

4. At the end of the day...

I know that no matter what, the friends that I have will always be there for me. Choosing the right friends was the best thing I could've ever done. I wanted change, so I changed friends. Every once and a while I have to "clean out" friends that become vampires.


At first I hated having to get rid of friends because "I love the person I thought they were" or "I love the person that they were before they changed"; however, at some point you have to realize that your life could be so much better without vampires. I'm so happy with my life and I'm so happy that I have friends with similar interests and similar goals. Life gets better when you choose your friends wisely.

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.

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.
