You've been home for awhile now and the months of summer that remain are full of promise and fun experiences, beach vacations and parties, laughter and tears... and texts from your ex. You know, the one you thought you got rid of for good who just so happens to contact you every time that you're home on break? Before you roll your eyes and leave his pathetic messages on 'read', you have to know what to look for.

Luckily, the girl who can spot a f*ckboy from a mile away is here to help you get through this summer without making any boy-related mistakes.

Here are 12 texts that boy will send you that you should totally leave on 'read.'

1. You up?

Adding a winking face makes this text worse than it already is. If he adds an emoji of any kind, especially the eggplant, you need to run.

2. You're home already?

Uh, yeah. Shouldn't matter to you though.

3. We should chill

You can chill with your bros. I don't chill.

4. Too good for me now?

You got it.

5. Wanna chill?

This, in a way, is better than number three because at least they're asking versus telling. It's still bad tho. Still not worth a reply. Next!

6. Since you're home, you should come over

This one's funny, because sometimes they add "haha" at the end to make it seem "casual"...

7. I miss you

You don't miss me. You just miss... nvm.

8. I know you've thought about me

Yeah, I've thought about how nice it has been to not have to see you for months.

9. You're the only girl I wanna be with

This text is usually used to rope you into a summer-only "commitment" where you're the only one committed. Good try, boys. Good try.

10. Wyd?

Well, I was relaxing until you texted me and ruined my peace with your existence

11. You should come cuddle

If they're brave, they'll start with this. Typically, though, this is said after you stupidly entertain them for awhile. Don't even bother.

12. I've changed

Have you changed? Or are you just that desperate to get laid?

Now that you know what you're looking for, you know what to avoid at all costs. Be safe out there, ladies. Fuckboys are everywhere this summer.

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.
