My National Championship Experience As Told By 'Friends'

In case anyone hasn't heard, VILLANOVA WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! And, to make it even better, they beat Michigan who, as I was raised a Notre Dame football fan, I have always found particularly annoying. No offense to anyone who goes there, just an opinion. Anyways, to say that this made me ridiculously happy would be the understatement of the century, and, therefore, this article is going to focus on my two favorite things: Villanova basketball and Friends.

I had quite an interesting time watching this game, as I was working my way through an airport. I refused to put my phone down, tended to comment on how amazing DiVincenzo was playing every time he got the ball and was outraged each time I lost service and had to restart the app, which I thought was perfectly fair, but I believe my sister told me I was "embarrassing her" on various occasions. Despite the stress I occasionally went through to watch this game, the outcome made it one hundred percent worth it.

When Nova won its final four game...

When I realized Nova was going to the championship and I wasn't going to be on campus with my friends...

When my brother said he was cheering for Michigan...

When the security lady told me to put my phone down...

When Villanova won...

When the people by me on the plane death glared me...

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.
