Thoughts Everyone Has While Visiting The Grocery Store Hungry
Clark

*Drives into the parking lot*

"Ok this is gonna be a quick trip... just gotta get the essentials. I might as well leave the car running because I'll be so quick. Nevermind... probably shouldn't do that...bad for the environment. Ok turn off the car - it's time to conquer the grocery store."

*Walks into the grocery store and is overwhelmed by the smell of temptation, the sound of crying babies in metal carts racing around the aisles and the sight of exhausted parents attempting to supervise said children*

"Amateurs. I'll be in and out of here before that baby even stops whining."

*Enters fruit and vegetable section*

"Oh yes I love veggies and I will totally eat this entire bag of baby carrots. Two large containers df big red strawberries for the price of one? Heck yeah, it would be a crime not to buy them. I'll just snack on those this week. I don't even know what dragon fruit is but I'll probably eat it and feel like a new person so I better get five. It's apple season so I better get a bunch of those too because you know fall only comes once a year. Mmm those bananas look good and I need to fuel my preexisting avocado addiction. Better get some citrus fruits too because flu season is upon us. Wow look at all of these healthy snacks. I am the poster child of health and efficiency."

*Exits produce and reaches premade food and deli*

"I never noticed how good those bowls of cold soggy noodles looked. I'll take a container of that and the potato salad next to it...maybe I'll start liking that now. Is this soup homemade? Who cares, it smells delicious. I need that too."

*Moves on to the bakery and things progress rapidly*

*Exits bakery and has no memory of time there but, somehow cart is now full of three different kinds of bread, a dozen muffins, a bag of bagels and donut for my troubles*

"Um...ok...yep this is fine just a few more things then I'm done."

*Finds snack aisle and is drawn in like the Romans to Circe's island*

"How am I supposed to choose between golden Oreos and regular? I'll get both, it's called balance. Could alway use some pretzels, and maybe some chips and salsa for good measure. Mmm Cheez-Its."

*Finishes the trip with a stop in the ice cream aisle to mourn the loss of my self-control*

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.
