"OK, all I need is whipped cream and cookie dough. This is easy, it should all be in the general area."

"Wait, this isn't the same layout of the other store... dammit I'll be here for an extra five minutes trying to figure it all out. What kinda of whipped cream did he want? Was it the one in the can or the one in the bin? Let me text him."

1:00

"Alright, where is the cookie dough? Oh gosh, would red velvet cake be better with ice cream than cookies? Dammit, I almost forgot the ice cream. No one specified what kind though. Should I text someone and ask? He hasn't even texted back though... so WHO would know?"

1:15

"OK, let me just guess. Cookies....or red velvet. OK, cookies. Whipped cream, AHH I still don't know. Whatever two is better than one, I'll get both...but what if they wanted sugar free? Nope, they don't want that option, that option is OUT. Now, what else did I need to get?"

1:45

"I know there is something I am missing. Should I get one more container of cookie dough? One should be enough right? OH, THERE'S THE ICE CREAM. I almost forgot, oh gosh, everything would have been ruined."

2:00

So what flavor... This is too hard... Someone send help!!!

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.

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.
