Let's just admit it, we all phone in our parents when we forget how to adult. And let's face it...moms always know what to do. Here's an ode to you, Mom, for always answering.

1. Hey I know I don't live with you anymore, but have you seen my leggings?

"Oh the navy blue ones? Yeah, they're in your bathroom."

Thanks, Mom!

2. You will NEVER believe what happened today...

Your mom knows all the drama. All you have to do is say your friend's name and she already knows what's up. Be ready to take her advice, somehow moms always know which friends won't last.

3. Does this shirt match with light wash jeans?

As long as you're wearing a coat, she doesn't care.

Is this considered a light or a dark?

What?! You just want to make sure.

5. Do you know where my birth certificate is?

6. Is it okay to use Windex on the kitchen table?

7. How long do you cook chicken for?

You'd rather have her cooking anyways.

8. Do I have any allergies I don't know about?

9. When did you know you wanted to have kids?

10. Remember when I was little and threw a tantrum in the Target parking lot?

Sorry about that.

11. I just watched "Brave" and I'm really sorry that I said I hated you in 6th grade.

12. Can you pick me up this weekend?

13. Can I microwave this?

14. I had a terrible day...

She'll hear all about how you didn't study and then failed the exam and not make you feel terrible about it.

15. Why did I wake up with this rash on my face?

16. Do we have a history of diabetes in our family?

Setting: At the doctor trying to fill out your own documents.

17. Why are groceries so expensive?!

Now you understand why she always made you put the cookies back in the grocery store.

18. What's the Netflix password again?

19. Can I live with you if my life turning upside down and I fail out of college?

20. How is everyone doing?

You really miss your family sometimes.

21. I miss you.

Love you, Mom, talk to you tomorrow.

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.

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.
