I'm not ashamed to admit that I love watching TV.

There are a few shows that never fail to make me laugh and have major re-watchability: Brooklyn 99, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Friends, and Parks and Recreation.

Part of what makes these shows so special is the following one-liners that can be worked into everyday conversations.

1. "Cool, cool, cool, cool." - Jake Peralta: Brooklyn 99

Tumblr

Customer: "I'm not going to get these. *Grunts while lifting 5 pairs of jeans, 10 dresses, 3 pairs of shoes and 4 t-shirts onto counter.*

You: "Cool, cool, cool, cool."

2. "Blerg" - Liz Lemon: 30 Rock

Giphy

Annoyed with your significant other? "Blerg!" Are the dishes piling up? "Blerg!" The plans you made two weeks ago and don't want to do anymore aren't getting canceled? "Blerg."

3. "I want to go to there." - Liz Lemon: 30 Rock

Tenor

When you get home from your last 12-hour shift before the weekend and you see that sweet, sweet bed.

"I want to go to there."

Looking at pictures of literally any beach.

"I want to go to there."

Daydreaming about moving to a state that doesn't get pummeled with snow during a bizzard.

"I want to go to there."

"I know!!!" - Monica Geller: Friends

Customer: "The doors are locked"

You: "I KNOW!!!" Go home Karen. It's 10 o'clock.

Significant other: "You were right."

You: "I KNOW!!"

"I've made a huge mistake." - Everyone: Arrested Development

Giphy

You: "I have to be up at 4, I should go to bed at 7."

You, lying in bed decorating your entire future home on Pinterest: "I've made a huge mistake."

"Treat yo self." - Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle: Parks and Recreation

Tenor

Me to me: "I really shouldn't have this chocolate molten lava cake."

Also, me to me: "Treat yo self."

"No touching!" - George Bluth Sr.: Arrested Development

You: "NO TOUCHING!" *When literally anyone touches you without your permission.*

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.

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.
