Girls, it's that time of year again! No, not Valentine's Day. No, not the newest season of "The Bachelor." It's the Super Bowl! Please, please calm down, hold your excitement. I know you can hardly contain it. It is that time of year when a bunch of jersey-wearing guys squeezed in front of a TV. One side of the couch rooting for team A and the other fighting for team B. Me, I'm fighting for the Sunday evening festivities to be over, so I can eat the leftover wings (if there are any). While the Super Bowl may not be my favorite part of the new year, there are some positives that come my way.

1. The Commercials

After the Super Bowl, I will literally just Google a YouTube video of all the commercials that were played. This spares me watching the game, and I get to contribute to any Super Bowl "talk" the following week.

"Did you guys see that touchdown?"

"No, no guys, did you see Amy Schumer's commercial?"

2. The Food

Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about the annual Super Bowl spread. Buffalo Chicken Dip, wings, football-related pastries (football cake pops, anyone?); the list of good food is endless. Everyone else's Super Bowl may be Broncos vs. Panthers, but mine is Emma vs. food... who will win?

3. Did I Mention the Food?

The food is too good not to be talked about twice. Okay, so maybe I only go to the Super Bowl parties for the food, but isn't that why guys go to office parties? Like, that is the best excuse to eat like crap for a night.

4. The Halftime Show

BEYONCE. GO QUEEN B!

Enough said.

5. The Tight Pants

For the moments I am watching the game, I'm not watching the game. (Know what I mean?) Boys like yoga pants? Girls like football pants. Whoever this player is in this gif, thank you.

6. Knowing One Player this year

Okay, so this year, I actually know someone that's on the field, other than Lady Gaga singling the National Anthem. Michael Oher. His story brought me one of my favorite movies, "The Blind Side." Since I know him, I guess I'll root for him. Honestly, I don't even know which team he's on; I just know he's on one.

With the Super Bowl over and done, I had all of those things come my way, and it was great. I'll be eating wings and pizza for the rest of this week, and I couldn't be happier. Woo, go team! Football yeah!

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.
