What Being A Dog Or Cat Person Says About Your Personality

Dogs or cats? That is the age-old question. Your pet preference can say a lot about your personality in general.

If you prefer dogs...

... you probably have a lot of energy. You love being outdoors and taking a walk around the neighborhood with your dog is a fun activity you both can enjoy together. You love being around people, and you can't leave a family member or friend without giving him or her a big hug. Some of our favorite activities include cuddling with your significant other, enjoying some yummy food and engaging in physical activities. While you may enjoy physical activity, your favorite activity is napping on a nice, comfy bed. You go with the flow and and tend to be extremely forgiving. You are also extremely obedient and have no problem taking orders from your boss as long as they are as kind as you are. In fact, you tend to go over and beyond for people who treat you well. You love people, but you have a six sense for recognizing bad people. Your loving nature may make you trust people you shouldn't and your loyal personality makes you give these people more chances than they deserve. However, that's why people love to be around you.

If you prefer cats...

... you probably enjoy being by yourself most of the time. Sure, you enjoy being around your close friends and family, but you look forward to when you can go home and just enjoy some alone time. You don't really care for physical activity and would much rather curl up on the couch and watch your favorite movie or TV show. You like to work alone and would much rather be your own boss than work for someone else. You can be very nice, but people know not to cross you. You are not afraid to speak up when someone treats you badly. You are great at communication and are very straight forward. When you are happy, you purr. When you are unhappy, you scratch. No one has to wonder what you are thinking or feeling—you let them know. People tend to misunderstand you and take your bold personality as a sign to stay away. However, that just makes your friendships with the people who took the time to see through your rough exterior even stronger.

If you don't like either...

You're just crazy.

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.

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.
