Struggles of being a girl and getting ready for tailgates

As you all may know, it is football season! We all get excited to watch our favorite teams play and celebrate the wins but the best part of this season is tailgating. For us girls its not all that easy though...We put a lot of effort in to wearing our hightop white converse and oversized team jerseys and tees.

1. Waking up and getting motivated to start the pre-gaming early.

2. The weather...

Its never what you want it to be. Its either too hot where our makeup melts off our face, too cold where we are stuck in layers looking like a marshmallow, or rainy and outfits are such a confusion.

3. Creating a good tailgate playlist.

We have to have a good variety that appeals to all, but as girls we like the most basic top 20 on 20 to jam out and dance to.

4. Preparing for the drinking games that you are about to get yourself into.

5. Waiting on your friends to get ready too.

We all have that one friend who takes forever...fashionably late?

6. "I do not eat meat!"

Well thats a bummer, because you miss out on all the yummy grilled foods. Chips it is I guess...

7. Getting pumped up!

Us girls know how to make a fun time out of all events, especially before hand when we are all together getting ready.

8."Do you all have your tickets?"

We don't want our best friend or that forgetful friend to not be able to join the rest of us because she left her ticket back in the room.

9. Its a kodak moment.

Lemme run and grab my Polaroid camera and cell phone while we take a million posed pics for the gram!

10. "Red solo cup, I fill you up..."

Let's hope we remember to make it to the game for the win!

GO TEAM GO!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
