We all know of at least one stereotypical white girl: Starbucks drink in hand, an over-sized shirt with her sorority letters, black leggings, dad cap, Ugg boots... But what about the girls who aren't so stereotypical? Being a not-so-stereotypical white girl comes with its challenges, here they are.

1. Having a music taste that's the complete opposite of your friends.

Your idea of turn up music? Mo Bamba, Swag Surfin', and some other mainstream songs that are played way too much. My idea of turn up music? Yungeen Ace, JayDaYoungan, Tokyo Jetz, and other artists that most white girls have no clue about.

2. Being the only sneakerhead in your friend group.

None of my friends can relate to the happiness I feel when I cop a new pair of J's.

3. Having no clue about Greek life.

I don't care that Mark from Kappa Sim Card liked your post on Instagram.

4. Loving sports way more than the rest of your friends.

You're excited for March because of Spring Break. I'm excited for March because of March Madness.

5. Dressing up like a girly-girl once and having the entire country comment on how you look.

"You should dress up more often!" Sorry. It's a no from me dawg.

6. Liking a little more flavor in your food than your friends.

I'm not really a Chicken Salad Chick girl... More of a Wingstop girl.

7. Having a different taste in movies and TV shows than your friends.

You want to watch "The Notebook." I want to watch "Friday."

8. Sticking with the same drink every time you go to Starbucks.

Not like I have any clue what any of the other drinks are anyways!

9. Not being able to fangirl over cute guys because your preferences are different from your friends.

I'm more into Jalen Ramsey than Zac Efron, but go ahead and shoot your shot sis!

10. Making guy friends more easily than girl friends.

It's just so easy to get into a conversation about sports or shoes with guys!

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.

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.

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.
