The End Of Vine

RIP Vine, not totally gone but eventually forgotten.

We all know 2016 is about to go down as one of the worst years in history (at least for us millennials). With our current presidential candidates, the deaths of Prince, David Bowie, Muhammad Ali, and Harambe, the countless acts of police brutality, bumble bees almost going extinct, a nationwide clown epidemic, the SUNY New Paltz mumps outbreak, Hurricane Matthew, and the death of the Great Barrier Reef, it's safe to say this year is total shit. Some of these were to be expected–there are hurricanes, celebrity deaths, disease outbreaks, and animals added to the endangered species list every year. The one thing we did not expect, however, was the death of one of the most popular social media apps: Vine.

Yes, Vine. An app filled with six-second-long covers, skits and random hilarious events is no more. Thankfully, the creators understand how important all these vines are, not only to creators but to viewers as well, so they're not totally deleting the app. Links will still be accessible, so you'll still be able to watch all your favorite vines. It'll just be discontinued, like when your favorite limited edition makeup palette is discontinued but some people bought extra to sell in the future, so it's technically still around.

Some may argue Vine kinda died a long time ago, considering many of the popular content creators went on to do bigger and (arguably) better things. Then there are people like me, who literally live for Vine threads on Twitter. In honor of one of my favorite apps "dying," I thought I'd share some of my favorites. Keep in mind I have a lot of favorites, so this really took some narrowing down–enjoy!

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.
