Winter Break And No Job: A Day In The Life

Less of a day in the life and more like every day.

Winter Break And No Job: A Day In The Life

Waking Up

A nice and early wake up time of 8 or 9 isn't that difficult when the night before you went to bed around 10 PM after a crazy night of Netflix and snacks.

Checking Social Media

I'll only mention this once, but we all know that the same rotation of checking Snapchat, Instagram, and then Facebook happens every 10 minutes when you have nothing to do all day.

Making A Bomb Breakfast


It's not like you have anywhere to be so you can take all the time you want making that insane avocado toast you saw on Instagram the other day. Bonus points because this culinary masterpiece can count as your one productive thing for the day.

Binge Watching TV


Watching Netflix all day is a staple in anyones routine over break, but you can spice it up by doing some sort of hobby while watching How I Met Your Mother for the 6th time. I personally prefer crocheting or knitting.

Rising From The Ashes


There's only so many hours you can spend in a dark room staring at a screen so it's time to move. You dress yourself for a workout, but let's be real, you're just going to be doing some light stretching then take a shower. It's the thought that counts though.

Dinner


Before you know it, it's dinner time, and your parents make you step outside of your bubble that is your room to have dinner with them. The topic of conversation is most definitely them not liking your new hibernation schedule.

Bedtime


Once you get back in bed and into your favorite sweatpants, you realize it's around 9 PM so it's pretty much time to go to sleep. You snuggle up in bed with some Netflix (a different show this time, variety is key), maybe a little Candy Crush and PTFO.

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.
