32 Things That Make Me Very Happy
Spiked Online

A while back, I made this list of things that made me happy because I was facing finals and things couldn't have been looking worse. When I am usually feeling tired, unmotivated or just down, I always pick up Mod Sun’s book “Did I Ever Wake Up?” and read a few pages or chapters because that book is just A+. If you have never read it, I highly encourage you to! He talks about how to live and love your life in a fun and to-the-point way, making it seem that it is very very easy to do. While reading, I realized that there were so many things that made me extremely happy that it made no sense to ever feel down. I decided to write them all out and here's what I came up with — 32 to be exact (but of course there's more). Some of them are weird, some relatable and some are just right on point, but each in their own way make me feel some type of happiness.

1. Warmth from the sun

2. Finishing an essay

3. Reading interesting articles

4. New nail polish bottles

5. Dunkin' Donuts

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
