In honor of March being women's history month, here is a list of 8 things women should stop caring about.

1. Impressing Men

Let's get real, ladies, it is 2018 if any of you are still going out of your way to impress some guy we need to re-evaluate our priorities. Do what you want because YOU want to. Wear a full face of makeup because it makes you feel confident, not because you feel pressured to look good for some boy.

2. Having To Be Perfect

We are all human and we all have our imperfections. It's about time we embrace all our flaws. We all get acne, body hair, and stretch marks, it is nothing to be ashamed of or try to hide.

3. Fulfilling Gender Roles

Gender stereotypes are so 1950's. Today, women don't have to know how to cook, clean, and be the perfect housewife. There is nothing wrong with being a strong, working women, who sometimes orders take-out.

4. Admitting When You're On Your Period

All women get periods. It's a FACT and doesn't have to be a secret. Your period is natural and nothing to be embarrassed about. Do not let anyone get away with using your period to insult you in any way.

5. Weight

All women are beautiful, but always worry about the numbers on a scale. It is time we all learn to love our bodies the way they are.

6. The Size Of Your Boobs

Your boobies are perfect the size they are. If you have small boobs, love those A cups. If you have double D's, flaunt them. Appreciate your boobs no matter the size.

7. Being Called Crazy

Women get called crazy for the most basic things. Simply asking where your boyfriend is, gets you called crazy. Don't let the word get to you.

8. Slut Shaming

When is slut shaming acceptable? Never. Do not let anyone get away with trying to slut shame you for anything. You can wear what you want and express your sexuality any way you want to.

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.
