The Stages Of Your Mom Not Answering Or Returning Your Calls As Told By Simon Cowell
Science All

You know the drill. You miss a call from your mother and you wonder what it might be about. Is everyone okay? Is there a funny story from home? You swipe and unlock your trusty iPhone and call her back. Lo-and-behold you reach 30 seconds of ringing and are directed to her voicemail. Not once, not twice, not three times, but four, maybe even five. You see the count next to her contact continue to go up and still no answer or return phone call. Was she kidnapped? Is she okay? The world will never know.

For everyone who has experienced this frustration, here are the stages of your mom not answering or returning your call as told by Simon Cowell.

Vexed

Okay, maybe she put her phone down at her desk or she dropped it in the floorboard of her car. Hopefully everything is okay, but please answer.

Annoyed

It's been 8 minutes, mom. I've called three times and you haven't answered. I'm getting a little irritated. A fourth time? Alrighty.

Frustrated

Mom, you called me, it's time for you to pick up your phone. I am your child, your main responsibility. You needed to talk to me, and now I can't get in touch with you.

Angered

AYE, YO MA! PLEASE ANSWER THE PHONE. I HAVE CALLED 10 TIMES. I'm not even letting it send me to voicemail. I'm hanging up and calling again. And again. And again. And again.

Enraged

Alright, I'm going to call until you answer, no matter what. I'm going to blow up your phone. This is getting a little out of hand. You called me, and now I can't get a hold of you. Where did you go? Did you run away? Did you die? Did you forget I exist?

And as an added bonus...

When she does call back...

You mean all you needed was to tell me that the dog went swimming today?

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.
