What I Learned In 48 Hours Without My iPhone

As of right this second, my beloved iPhone 6 Plus is not working. It's been like this for about two days now, and I feel like I am losing my marbles. It's always been obvious to myself and to the people who know me, that my phone is my security blanket. Its like having all of your friends right in your pocket and you're never alone.

Here's what I've learned in the past 48 hours.

1. Siri is my new BFF

"Siri, call mom", "Siri, call Josh", "Siri, dial 867-5309". She's probably annoyed with me by now.

2. I finally figured out how to Facebook messenger works on an actual computer screen.

"Hey, I saw you texted me but my phones being dumb so I need to reply to you on here,". I've typed that exact sentence at least 10 times today.

3. I've learned where all of the AT&T stores in my area are, and how many of them have the iPhone 7 Plus in stock.

I'm coming for that rose gold.

4. Twitter messages are also a thing used to communicate

"I saw you sent me a Snapchat but I cant open it because, again, my phone is being dumb,". I've also said that at least twice today.

5. Car rides to and from work are boring when I can't listen to my Spotify playlists

Songs You Should Be Listening To: Volumes 1 & 2 are available now.

6. You panic over the thought of not being able to give your friends the live play by play of your day

How am I going to let my friends know when I see a cute dog?

7. Procrastinating becomes much more difficult to do

Because scrolling through Social Media on your laptop just isn't the same.

All in all, everything will be fine, I'm due for an upgrade and hopefully I can keep my head on about it for another day. This has been the realest struggle, and I know that if I can over come this, I can over come everything.

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.

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.
