3. You wear Maryland clothing when you go out of state so everyone knows where you're from

4. You've seen more Maryland flag crab stickers on the backs of cars than you can count

5. Speaking of crabs: you'll win an argument with anyone who claims they've had crabs better than Maryland crabs

6. When people out of state ask where you're from it's either Baltimore, Annapolis, or D.C.

7. You always have Berger Cookies in your house

8. You know Ocean City isn't what it used to be, but you still go every summer

9. You stand firmly by the belief that Maryland has the best state flag

10. Hearing the National Anthem with the exaggerated 'O' gives you a feeling of utmost pride (wait for it)

11. You identify by your county: Baltimore County, MoCo, HoCo, PG, etc

12. You can't explain the magnitude to which Marylanders love the Ravens

13. You know its really a snowball not a snow cone

14. Under Armour is ours. Kevin Plank is ours.

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.

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.
