Perks Of Being A Girl

There's more than you think.

Don't get me wrong, being a girl is cool. I'm all for feminism and girl power, but at the end of the day I have to be honest- sometimes I feel life would have been easier as boy. To me, they've always had it easy. Sports, basketball shorts, perfect hair all the time.

Despite the occasional free smoothies I'll get at Jamba based on my appearance (I don’t know whether to be offended, but will gladly accept the complementary smoothie) there have to be some other perks.

So I thought to myself, what are the good things about being a girl?


1. Better handwriting. My brother’s handwriting is complete chicken scratch. Girls by nature just write neater so kudos to us

2. We're more organized. I'm probably one of the messier people you'll meet, but I'm still more organized than a boy. Ha!

3. We mature faster. Don't even bother talking to boys your same age, they are mentally 4 years younger.

4. Cuter clothes. Let's face it: girls clothes are way cuter and have a much wider variety. Boys have no accessories and settle for tie clips.

5. Makeup. I'm not a crazy make up artist, but I do appreciate what wonders a simple line of eyeliner can do

6. Range and depth of emotion that men can’t even fathom. Unlike men who are cyborgs, we are able to appropriately process and express emotion

7. Benefits of chivalry. We don't have to waste time opening doors for our selves

8. Professional stalking. Having 2 X chromosomes basically means the innate art of stalking is programmed into your DNA.

9. Communication skills. Unlike boys, if something is bothering us we know how to let someone know

10. The more beautiful gender. Girls are naturally beautiful and can openly appreciate each other's beauty.

In conclusion...

Girls rule, boys drool.

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.
