The Official Totem Guide 2016: Midwest Edition

thisisagoodsign.com

I think every festival goer can agree- totems are essential. They are usually large cut outs that can play a large role in your group’s festival experience, and even safety. Coming back to reality after a weekend of following your beloved totem can sometimes even make you miss frantically looking for your group’s unique piece of art. However, there are definitely some totems that should be avoided if you want to be successful in finding your squad. Coming from someone who is a regular at Midwest festivals, here are the top 10 most common totems of 2016.

1. Rick and Morty

“That’s like planning for failure, Morty… even dumber than regular planning.”

2. LED jellyfish

It's all fun and games until there are 5 jellyfish umbrellas around you…

3. Dick butt

The modern day Rick Roll. Just don’t do it.

4. Chicago loves house music

Something that needs to be clarified every once in a while, for sure.

5. Tina Belcher

Poor Tina is far too awkward for the amount of fame she is gaining.

6. Prehistoric Spongebob

Usually accompanied by “when you can’t find your squad.” Ironic ….

7. This is a Good Sign

A sign so good that everyone has it!

8. RIP Harambe

May his soul live on. Forever. Everywhere.

9. Are you feeling it Now Mr. Krabs?

10. Blow up Becky

A classic, however she will be destroyed and sloppy before she can be useful for her services.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
