You have to admit, at some point in your life, you have procrastinated doing something you really need to do. Whether it be taking out the trash, putting off that 10 page essay until the night before, or washing that pile of clothes that are growing into its own person.

1. Pushing it off

You know that you have a whole 6 weeks to complete that essay so whats the point of starting now. Your favorite episode of Grey's Anatomy is on.

2. Realizing you have been procrastinating all day.

Sometimes you feel like you are just one big unproductive mess. The last time you procrastinated, you swore you would never do it again

3. You repeatedly go back to the refrigerator swearing every time you'll get started after you get through eating

Just after this bag of chips. I PROMISE!

4. Then you finally pick up the book and you remember you have to Snapchat someone back before you start

But it is IMPERATIVE that I send Johnny back an "lol" back to his Snap. But then Heather just messaged me back on Facebook so I'll just respond back to her really quickly.... 5 hours later....


5. The week your assignment is due

But you still have until Sunday at midnight to submit it though

6. When you've been purposely been trying to forget the assignment and you now really forgot about it

SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT! Why do I keep doing this to myself!

7. So you FINALLY put all of the foolery aside and start

*Writes name and date* Me: SO ACCOMPLISHED! I AM PROUD OF YOU!

8. Yeah right, keep fooling yourself

Ohhhhh well... there's always next time

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.

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.
