14 Things That Go Through Your Head When You Can't Spell

No one can deny that spell check saves lives but what happens when it leaves you out to dry? What happens when even the dictionary has no idea what you're talking about and google dumps you? I give you, a close look at what it feels like to be bad at spelling.

1. Sure, this looks right

Definitely ... right?

2. But then you see the red line

I quit.

3. When you change a few letters and feel confident about it

That's definitely right now.

4. But the red line is still there

WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!??!?!

5. And even spell check taps out

Spell check: "No Spelling Suggestions"

6. You start to wonder if you're cut out for school at all

Is it too late to drop out?


6. You question your life choices

I should've studied in first grade like everyone else.

8. So you go to google

Did you mean ... NO

9. And even google can't help you

What do you mean no suggestions?

10. And you're stuck staring at the red line wondering why you?

This is how it ends.

11. You realize you would never make it on Wheel of Fortune

It'll have to be deal or no deal.

12. And you realize why you stink at crosswords

I guess it's going to have to be sudoku.

13. You think of synonyms that you could use instead

Why try to sound smart?


14. But then you make a last ditch effort to change it and it works so you feel like

Genius.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
