According to the enneagram test, I am a "one wing two." Those of you who are enneagram fanatics suddenly know so much more about me. On the other hand, those of you who have no idea what the enneagram is are completely lost.

I am not claiming to be an enneagram expert at all. I have not read the books, and I only recently jumped on the bandwagon. I am a newbie who is slowly learning more about the test every day. Here is what I do know — the enneagram test is a series of questions that allows one to gain a better understanding of himself and how they interact in relationships with other people.

The test assigns you a "type," and from there you can learn so much about yourself. Your "type" helps you discover your weaknesses, strengths, tendencies under stress, tendencies under growth, what type your most compatible with... the information is endless.

Ever since I have been introduced to the test, I have experienced so much personal growth. The test is both convicting and freeing. It allows you to appreciate the way that Jesus has created you, and it highlights the sin that you can pray against. Here are some reasons that I believe everyone should take the test:

1. It improves your self-awareness

2. You gain insight into others' tendencies and habits

3. You learn how to improve the relationships around you

4. You know what sins to pray against in your life

5. You know what gifts to thank God for

6. You are alerted of potential issues between two types and how to avoid such conflict

7. You gain an appreciation for who you are

8. You become more understanding towards others

9. You experience personal growth

10. You have so much to learn about yourself and others, which can be exciting

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.

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.
