The World is My Pork Chop

I have the choice to experience life the way I want to and I want to experience the world with a happy heart.

The World is My Pork Chop
Power of Positivity

I can't remember where it was or when it was, but one time my mom and I were driving somewhere and we saw a bumper sticker that read, "The world is my pork chop". We thought this was hilarious simply because we think everything is funny and we love pork chops. Ever since that day, whenever I'm upset my mom will remind me that the world is my pork chop. I'm not even sure what that means, but when I think about it, I think it means that the world is full of experiences and opportunities.

I am only 20 years old, but I have had an overwhelming amount of experiences, both good and bad. I have been a caring friend and sometimes an unforgivable one. I have been a loving daughter, I've been on multiple high school sports teams, and I attend college. I've experienced falling in love, being in love and having my heart broken more than once. I've been given opportunities to rent an apartment, to have a job. I've had the opportunity to be captain for a Relay for Life team, to be part of my residential hall council and to be the girl that says "hiya" to everyone that passes through Merrill Hall lobby (I work as a desk receptionist). Life is always presenting experiences and opportunities to better yourself, thankfully I have decided to take most of the opportunities presented to me.

Sadly, I have also neglected certain opportunities and neglected friendships and people that have cared about me. I have left things unresolved, I haven't been honest with certain people and I have sometimes been dishonest with myself. I have passed up on life experiences I wish I would have taken and sometimes the idea of new experiences scares me. But the world is my pork chop, and I have the opportunity to apologize, the opportunity to tell people how much I love and care about them. I have the choice to experience life the way I want to and I want to experience the world with a happy heart.

Make the world your pork chop. If you're vegan or vegetarian I apologize, maybe make the world your tofu. It doesn't matter to me what food you compare it to, but make the world what you want it to be. Take opportunities and experience life to the fullest. Learn life lessons, feel emotion, learn how to love, learn how to be independent, have a happy and full heart. I've lived my life long enough living as if it were a 3 week old slice of pizza: moldy, stale and sad.

The world is my pork chop and I'm going to embrace everything that comes my way.

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.
