5 Reasons Why You Should Watch 'Big Mouth'
Netflix

1. It is hilariously inappropriate.

This show is so funny because it shows all the weird things that went on with guys and girls in middle school but it depicts in it a way that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time. There's lots of weirdly placed cuss words, a lot of weird romances, and it just shows how weird middle school was for just about everyone.

2. It depicts the awkwardness everyone felt in middle school.

The couples don't know how to be couples, the girls are figuring out what kind of bras they wanna wear, they're also dealing with the grossness of becoming a ~woman~, the guys are trying to figure out what's going on with them in general, and I think that's how everyone felt as a pre-teen about to go through puberty or going through puberty. You never really knew what was going on in middle school and you just wanted to fit in and be "normal" even though you don't even really know what normal is.

3. Big mouth is a coming of age show.

Although some of the things in the show are inappropriate, it really is about a bunch of kids trying to figure out life and find their place in the world. I mean, that's what everyone goes through ESPECIALLY in middle school. You learn a lot about yourself, you develop friendships with people and learn how to maintain those friendships, and you learn how to sort of be yourself.

4. You see a different side of puberty, and now you understand why you were such an angsty teen.

Oh man, this show is like the perfect example of how you became that emotional teen with too much eyeliner and not enough light colored clothing. You see how people get in with the "cool" kids, and you see how pre-teens experiment with their sexualities (even in middle school, trust me it was a weird time even for me.) It showed why girls in my generation were so into the Twilight saga and gave a little insight into the weird stuff guys did that girls would never understand.

5. It explores different parts of being in middle school and wanting to fit in.

You see different ways of how girls and guys acted in middle school and it teaches you how you have really GLOWED up from that person you were in middle school. You see how wanting to fit in with the cool kids is something everyone wants to do but also it shows how you should also be true to yourself which is something I did not have in middle school. It shows how girls and guys differ in many ways other than how we go through puberty; and it celebrates becoming a young adult in different, slightly inappropriate ways.

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.
