Why You Shouldn't Care About Mayweather vs McGregor
USA Today

This will be the most anticipated fight of the century; Future Hall of Fame boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr versus the UFC superstar Connor McGregor. Once McGregor's wife has their first child, this will start going into contract negotiation. Yet according to Dana White, President of the UFC, things are looking good and this fight is going to happen. The super fight is already estimated to make over $1 billion just on PPV alone and I'm here to tell you how not to get suckered in to paying for this fight.

This fight is solely happening because both participants including the UFC are in for a big pay day. If it wasn't about money, Mayweather would never come out of retirement and take this fight to jeopardize his record (49-0). As for McGregor, it's a nice payday and his reputation won't get hurt if he loses because he's not a boxer.

My predictions on the fight is that it will go the distance and Mayweather will win unanimously because he is a smart boxer and knows how to score his points and keep his opponents at bay. All of the McGregor supporters will complain and ask for a rematch in the octagon and we will never hear from them again because of the hefty payday both parties will receive. Thus life goes on and millions of people will complain about wasting their money on another super fight. Luckily if you have read this in time I just saved you $100.

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.
