The Best Roommates are the Messiest ones....

Here are some tips on how to deal with a messy roommate because if you are a really neat person, you probably need some ideas (written from the perspective of a messy person).

1. Be understanding

Not everyone can be as neat and perfect as you, so cut these messy people some slack.

2. Feel free to offer them a lending hand

You're the expert right?? Well, if so, then feel free to help them out, because they need the help, and you can't stand the mess...


3. If you begin to feel extremely claustrophobic or begin to have an anxiety attack because of the extreme mess in the room...it is probably best to leave


4. Don't expect your room to look like a catalogue

cuz it won't.

(this will not be your room)

5. If you're taking pictures of your room and plan on sending them to friends or instagramming it...leave out your messy roommate's side

Because nobody is going to be impressed by that



6. If the room is so messy that you trip on something and hurt yourself...don't blame the roommate

This is a hard one...but try to look at it as a positive...the messiness could be a safety precaution?



7. Even if your room starts to look messy, it will always be neat compared to your roommate's



8. Because your roommate is super messy, they will probably unintentionally borrow your stuff

This is bound to happen because the messy person won't be able to find their stuff. Try not to be upset and always have extra shampoo on hand...

9. Embrace your inner messiness

Everyone has a messy side, right? Well now your roommate is allowing you to bring that side out!


10. Your roommate is probably still a good person

Even though she's messy and probably drives you up a wall, you still have to love her because this is just who she is and she's trying....even if it doesn't seem like it.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

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.
