A Timeline Of Shopping

Because some of us just love to shop.

A Timeline Of Shopping

I know that for me, I just LOVE to shop. I also know that most of us who do love to shop tend to look for any excuse needed to go hit the mall. I bet just reading that you can relate, right? Well, I thought I'd help explain the thought process. So without further or do, I present to you a sequence of buying a new outfit.

1. What am I going to wear today?

Face it, we all ask this question—every single day. Nothing new here.


2. I guess I can go out and buy something for tonight.

Because my 300 other outfits don't work. This dress makes me look funny, and that dress is too tight.

3. No- I need to save my money.

But Forever 21 is having a sale right now...

4. Alright I'm at the mall. I know exactly what I need to get.

Oooooh but that shirt is cute too. Oooh and those floral leggings, I can just try them on right?

5. When you find something super cute.

Yet, when you look at the price tag, it isn’t that cute anymore.

6. Well, I bought my dress, I need cute shoes to match too.

Because my 500 other pairs won’t do.

7. Do I need a bathing suit?

I have my one from last year but, now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t like it that much.


8. What do you mean I'm only allowed eight items in the dressing room? I have at least 12 here!

9. They don't have my size?

10. I can just buy it online? I'll order it right now.

11. Alright, I’ve bought more than I need.

My wallet hurts. Time to head home.

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.
