The Struggles Of Being The Least Photogenic In The Friend Group

1. You Ruin Every Group Photo

Every photographable moment, whether it is a night out, a fun day at an orchard, or even just an impromptu photo-shoot gets ruined because you can never take a good picture. At first glance the picture always looks great... your friends look awesome, great smiles, perfect hair, awesome head tilts… and then they get to you. It just seems like everyone else always ends up looking like a supermodel or Jennifer Aniston and you end up looking like a hamster.

2. You Become The Permanent Photographer

Because you look better behind the camera than in front of it, your friends are always asking you to be the one who takes it. At first, you think they’re complimenting your amazing photography skills, but when you start to notice that their timelines and Instagrams are full of pictures you aren’t in, you begin to catch on.

3. Your Tagged Photos Are Atrocious

People are ruthless these days and have the nerve to post the photos you look your worst in, and then go as far as tagging you in them! That’s why the Facebook setting where you have to approve the pictures you’re tagged in before they end up on your timeline is definitely your lifesaver.

4. There Is No Evidence That You Even Have Friends

Since you’ve probably only ever taken three good group pictures in your life, people who don’t know you definitely think you don’t have friends because of the lack of evidence to support it. Not to mention when your birthday comes around, your friends definitely have an ample amount of embarrassing photos to chose from, but when it’s their birthday, you can only post cute pictures because of how blessed they are.

5. There’s No Such Thing As A Cute Candid Picture

No matter if you’re laughing, talking, or simply just caught off guard you either end up looking like a horse or Poot Lovato. It just doesn’t make sense how so many girls have these amazingly cute candid photos filling their feeds and you can’t even have one. Everyone claims that taking a good picture is all about angles, but what if every angle is a bad angle? Life is hard.

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.
