The Things You Start To Miss After Moving Away From St. Louis
google

I never though I would miss living in Missouri, I was always determined that I would move off to a much better state like California or New York. Then one day my parents made the announcement that we were moving to Alabama... And now this born and raised Missouri girls is home sick.

For starters I miss Imo's Pizza.... I seriously though that Imo's was everywhere but its not. And that is depressing because here I am in a state that does have the delicious St. Louis style pizza.

Ugh... The cardinals! (ALABAMA DOES NOT HAVE A MLB TEAM!) I'm sorry I really can't stress that enough. I grew up watching the cardinals. In St. Louis we take baseball very seriously and you are taught to hate the Chicago Cubs. And with that being said, go cards #BirdsNation

And since we're on the topic of sports, the Blues... Boy do I miss hockey. I'll just go ahead and say this, Alabama revolves around football, here in the good ole south football is life. So yes, I do miss living in a state that has more than just football.

The beautiful Gateway Arch, no matter how many time I have gone up in that thing it will never get old. Now when I go back home to visit I make it a point to go to the arch a go all the way to the top.

Another great STL attraction is the City museum, although i struggle now to get through the tiny holes its still the coolest place ever. It's like a giant playground!

To add to the list of wonderful attractions, The River Road. The name is pretty self explanatory, this miles long road let you drive alongside the Mississippi river and it is a beautiful site

The graffiti wall is by far one of my favorite things in STL. It is the perfect background for photo shoots ( I actually took my High School senior pictures here and I am still in love with them), to get some inspiration or if you're good with the spray can go ahead and leave your mark!

Bread Co. or as everyone else calls it "Panera" that took a while to get used to. But yes, the Panera everyone knows and loves was originally founded in St. Louis Missouri, and i miss calling it bread co. and people knowing what i mean

So despite always missing the wonderful things of STL I am glad that now i can enjoy them even more when I visit my hometown.

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.
