I love saying that I'm from Pennsylvania. When asked what part I'm from, with pride I always say around the Pittsburgh area. While I may not be the biggest sports fan I love seeing our boys in black and yellow.

The city comes alive when there's a game going on. People swarm to the city to see the game in the stands. With the Stanley Cup Finals being in town, the crowds gathered outside Consol Energy Center to watch the game on the big screen. So many fans came to the city that they added another big screen in Market Square so that more fans could watch the game. I watched the game from the comfort of my own home but I could only imagine the way those fans at the game felt as we watched in suspense to see the outcome. To know that so many other fans were cheering around the city was a cool feeling. There was a sense of camaraderie, no matter where you were watching the game.

I learned last night while watching the game that Pittsburgh hasn't had a home championship win in any of our sports since the Pirates won the World Series in 1996. So now I understand why the crowds were so huge last night. I can only imagine how the fans would have reacted if the Penguins had won the game.

Pittsburgh came together last night for the game. Just like so many other times, fans came dressed in black and gold to support our team. I might be a little biased toward the other teams from this city since I grew up here but I'm OK with that. I might not be a big sports fan, but I love watching my city win.

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.
