Smartphone Games We All Were Once Addicted to

Nowadays, almost everyone has a smartphone, and gaming has become an essential element of them. During our free time, awkward breaks in between classes, or long road trips, we all have spent some time feeding our gaming addictions. Application developers worldwide work hard to make sure we are getting the best gaming experience possible.

Here are some classic games everyone has tried at least once.

Angry Birds

Angry Birds is one of my least favorites because I could never get the hang of it. The pigs are evil! I never understood why so many people enjoyed playing this game. It was so popular that it has made even more money by selling Angry Birds merchandise. Stop the Angry Bird's t-shirts please!

Temple Run

One of my favorites, Temple Run, involves running from monkeys on a narrow path. When I was addicted, I spent more time shopping for power-ups with my coins in the Temple Run store than I did shopping at the mall. That is when you know you have a problem.

Words With Friends

Words was the first well known game that was player against player. You can link it to your Facebook and play your friends. Those few practice rounds with the randoms online didn't ever prepare you for the competition between you and a friend.

Candy Crush

If I see another Candy Crush commercial on TV, I might scream. However, this is easily the most addictive game ever created. It seems so easy and there are so many levels to play; therefore, it has probably kept you up all night before.

Flappy Bird (May it R.I.P.)

Flappy Bird gets my vote as the most stressful game of all time. I have seen people break their phones over this game. Also, I have witnessed many people cuss their phones out over this game. I would speculate this game has caused people health problems, but that might be going too far.

Trivia Crack

The name couldn't be more perfect. This game is all anyone is playing right now. The spinning wheel will always land on the category you don't want. Everyone hates the "Art" category, so when you score the little Art dude it's a huge relief. 

I don't know if I am ready for the next big game, but I'm sure it will be just as fun as these!

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.
