How I Met Your Mother might be one of the most iconic series in television. More iconic than the series itself? Barney Stinson. Barney is the perfect mix of boss and bro. Although I could never be Barney, I can at least pretend when I go out.

1. When your friends say "let's go out"

Yeah, maybe you have a test tomorrow, but your friends will always find an excuse on why “you absolutely have to go out tonight” every single time because what else are friends for?


2. When you're 5 shots in and start to feel confident

Because for some reason when I drink I lose 5 pounds and my hair looks better than it did an hour ago…weird.

3. When you see someone hot at the bar and you try to flirt

It's safe to say I can't hold a conversation that isn't awkward until I've had some liquid courage (but, even then I'm definitely still awkward.)

4. When someone goes after the same person

I saw them first!!!

5. When you make a new friend in the bathroom

"Wait...you have a black shirt on...? I HAVE A BLACK SHIRT ON TOO."

"I'm never letting you go, I love you"

"You're my best friend and I'll always be there for you"

6. When your friends dare you to do something stupid

And in this moment you realized, that you had f*cked up.

7. When you fall on your face doing it but you're still a bad*ss

Because nobody saw it, right?

8. When you insist that your Uber play your favorite song

Alright, we get it, "Come on Eileen" is your song and you want everyone to know it.

9. When you realize you just ate a whole thing of takeout

I swear that large pepperoni pizza definitely ate itself.

10. When you finally make it home and have no idea how

Sure it took an army of ten people, but who's counting anyways?

11. When you watch your Snapchat story the next day and still make it to your 8 AM

Yeah, you're in the same makeup from the night before and you forgot deodorant, but you saved all your snap memories and got that attendance grade, so that's really all that matters.

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.
