My Weekend Routine

Every weekend is a blessing from God.

During the week there's soooo much going on: extracurricular activities, school work, extra work, etc. The weekend is awarded as a break from the previous week. Sometimes I'm not granted a weekend away from everything and I'm sometimes busy on weekends. When I am not busy on weekends, there's a routine that helps me unwind from a busy week.

Here is my weekend routine:

1. Nap until 12 or whenever

On Saturdays you can find me in my bed until around 12pm, 2pm the latest. Sleep is something I lose most so I just replenish it on Saturday. Beauty rest is important.


2. Saturday Facial

Whenever I decide to wake up, I catch my face up. Catching my face up means to give it what it's been missing all week, a good washing. Don't get me wrong, I wash my face during the week but not as thorough because I will be late for class. During the week I just slap Noxema on my face, hop in the shower, when I'm out I wash the remaining Noxema off, brush my teeth, and start my day. On weekends, I exfoliate, Noxema, then mask it up with a mask that has what my face needs at the time.

3. Clean Up

My room is a total mess from all the running around I have to do throughout the week. So I turn on my music and get to work on my room and bathroom.

4. Read A Book or Article

I usually read a book of my interest and/or an article that I find online to relax my mind.

5. Online Window Shop

On Sunday's I usually browse through asos.com, topshop.com, or any online clothing store for that matter. Just to see what's on sale, what to add to my wishlist and because shopping relaxes me; window shopping or not.

That's it! Before I know it Monday rolls around and my busy week has started again.

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.
