To Those In The "Party Stage" Of Life:

Don't Forget About Those Who Care About You While You're Out Drinking.

To those in the "party stage" of life:

Have fun. Enjoy the time you spend drinking and hanging out in social settings like bars with your friends. Soon everyone will be married, have kids and nobody will have time to "grab a beer" on a Wednesday anymore. Enjoy the times when you and your party friends get so drunk you don't remember what happened after 10 PM. Enjoy all the goofy pictures you take, and all the stories you acquire to tell people later.

Enjoy the party stage, but don't forget about the people in your life who take care of you during your "party stage."

Don't forget about the people who remind you about that midterm paper you have due tonight- better not forget about it, because it's half your grade.

Don't forget about the people who encourage you to go to class on the mornings you don't feel like getting out of bed- remember, participation is half the grade.

Don't forget about the people who encourage you to better yourself in various ways- whether it is taking a class you think you won't be able to handle or applying for a job you think is above you. Encouraging you is our way of saying you can do anything you set your mind to, and we want you to know that.

Don't forget about the people who remind you to take care of yourself- please drink plenty of water, and did you remember to eat today?

Don't forget about the people who are there to pick you up from the party you no longer want to be at- yes it's 3 AM, but I would rather you be safe than anywhere you're not enjoying yourself.

Last, but not least, don't forget about the people who are there for you after the party is over. The people who listen to your drunk antics for hours on end without ever telling you to stop; the people who make sure you have Gatorade and plenty of Advil for the hangover you're going to have in the morning; the people who make sure you have plenty of food the next day, because you'll need to eat, even if you don't feel like it.

Party friends are great and fun, but don't forget about the people who truly care about you while you're busy with your party crowd.

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.
