Signs You're A Part Time Soccer Mom
Kayla A. Landsberger

I'm the oldest of five kids, four of them being boys. All of them play soccer. My dad works full time and my mom is a substitute teacher. In the fall I work a part-time job and am a full-time college student - but when summer hits, I'm a part time soccer mom. I do pick up, drop off, and volunteer on Wednesday nights to sign people in for pick up at the high school. I've been trained by the best of the best in the Tri-County area and I have no shame. I have impeccable time management skills, I'm great at adult conversation, and I always come prepared with snacks. Here's a few signs that you're also a part-time soccer mom:

1. You know they're going to hate you for waking them up.

Yes, you're screaming at me because I got up early to wake YOU up for YOUR practice. Summer sessions are brutal.

2. You know that having Frebreze in the car is an essential.

Shin guards smell. Cleats smell. Socks smell. Body odor is outrageous. Just spray and leave the windows down or you will suffocate, and you will die.

3. You double check that they have BOTH of their cleats.

Long live the start of WWIII when one of them forgot them. RIP to my Dad's sanity.

4. You save the day with your backup items.

Someone doesn't have the right shorts for a game? No biggie, I have 3 different colors in my trunk.

5. You know you have to feed them directly after practice or they will shrivel up and die.

"KAYLA PLEASE FEED ME I HAVEN'T EATEN SINCE 6!!" Stephen, it's 8..

6. Every actual soccer mom knows you and everything about you.

"I heard you think their Coach is soooo hot. ... You know he's single now?" God. Help. Me.

7. You know exactly where everyone on the team lives because you've taken them home so many times.

My car is forever full and it looks a little something like this. ^^^

8. After dropping them off at practice your free time consists of going to Target.

Don't judge me, it's quiet and there is air conditioning.

9. You know that practice never ends on time.

Never. Ever. Ever.

10. You love every second of it because it involves spending time with your favorite tiny humans.

Even though you smell and you scream at me when I force you to go to practice, you're my favorites. I wouldn't change those car rides and jam sessions for anything.

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.
