After watching this series through a second (and partly third...) time, there are several great and annoying things I've noticed.

1. Pro: Gilmore Girls is a fun and funny show

There is something to laugh at in each episode; whether at Lorelai being crazy, Michel's "done with people" attitude, Emily's pettiness, the list goes on. The series is a true RomCom.

2. Con: Everyone is always arguing

Literally. All. The. Time. Arguments between mothers and daughters, friends, boyfriends, husbands, and even pets. The characters are arguing and yelling in every scene aside from the ones where Rory is studying or making out with someone.

3. Pro: The show has a lot of character development

We get to see Jess become more mature, Emily and Lorelai begin to solve their issues towards the end, and relationships blossom.

4. Con: The theme song

When I first started watching, I liked the theme song. Now, I am very thankful for the mute button on my remote.

5. Pro: The show is relaxing

There are almost no physical fights, no scenes that leave you crying for hours, and no gross factors. It is a gentle and relaxing show to binge on.

6. Con: The singing

I will have the "la la"s in my head for hours after watching an episode.

7. Pro: The small town vibe

Stars Hollow is an adorable little town that has a lot of character and activities.

8. Con: Everyone is an extrovert

Everyone likes to socialize and be in public. You rarely see a character who is not a socialite.

9. Pro: The show is predictable, but not to a fault

You can predict what will happen in the series, but there are still quite a few surprising moments.

10. Con: The pettiness

Everyone. Is. Petty. This adds a very annoying factor into the series.

11. Pro: The characters are relatable

Each fan can find someone they like and relate to.

12. Con: The characters are constantly backstabbing each other

Episode summary: character A does something behind character B's back. Character B finds out about it and proceeds to do something behind character A's back. Repeat.

13. Pro: There are several great references

From 80's bands and movies to classic oldies' hits to book references, the characters are always making some sort of reference that most everyone knows and finds funny.

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.
