I Am That Girl That Is Ready To Settle Down In College

Sorry, not sorry.

You read that right. I am a 19-year-old girl in college that is ready to settle down. I have a boyfriend that I have been dating for a while now. I don't find anything wrong with wanting to be serious in college.

I don't want to be a part of the hookup culture like most of the people in college. I just don't get what's so fun about that. What's so enjoyable about hooking up with a guy that will never talk to you again? I just don't get it, and I never will. I don't get why people are so willing to be put in such a disrespectful position. I could not, and would not, give my body to every guy in sigma apple pie, no thank you.

Having a serious relationship is so enjoyable especially in college. I get to do so much, and I have someone to share all of my experiences with. I have someone that I can take trips and sightsee with. I have someone that I can always count on.

Whenever I have a tough week, I know I can go see my boyfriend on the weekend, and he knows exactly how to make me forget about it. Whenever I have problems with my friends at school, he always listens to me vent about them. He pushes me to do my best in everything.

I honestly would not make it through college without him. So yeah, when people ask me if I'd be ready to settle down with him, of course, the answer is yes. I know I had a life before him, but I'd never want to go back to that.

I could never trade my amazing relationship for a few hookups. Nothing could ever beat the happiness I get from being in a relationship with my best friend.

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.
