Awards season is wrapping up the only way Hollywood knows how — with the 92nd Academy Awards. The Oscars are the peak of success in the movie industry and this year's competition is as fierce as ever. Leo DeCaprio, Laura Dern, Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, Al Pacino, and everyone who is anyone will be there while the rest of us watch the spectacle from our couches, judging outfits and acceptance speeches alike.

While pouring a glass (or two) of wine and popping the popcorn is a fully acceptable way to enjoy Oscars night, they take their dear sweet time to present those golden trophies. This show is a long one! Stretching your legs is necessary for your overall viewing experience. While you're at it, add in some squats, a couple of jumping jacks, and hey, a plank sounds like a great idea! You may not be accepting a prestigious award, but you can still feel like a superstar by the time they announce Best Picture.

1. They mention there's no host: 10 crunches

2. The camera pans to the fabulous Meryl Streep: 10 push-ups 

3. Someone thanks their parents: 5 jumping jacks 

4. Someone makes a joke about the POTUS: 5 squats 

5. Brad and Leo look particularly bro-y: 10 mountain climbers 

6. When all the nominees in the category are men: 25 calf raises 

7. A member of the original "Hamilton" cast gets some screen time: 5 burpees 

8. Will Ferrel makes a joke: 30 second plank

9. Elton John steals our hearts with his performance: 1 minute of high knees 

10. Someone mentions the 2020 election/voting: 1 minute wall sit 

11. The orchestra cuts someone's speech off: 10 lunges 

12. Timothée Chalamet is the center of attention: Touch your toes

15. One of Brad Pitt's ex-girlfriends gets some screen time: 10 push-ups  

16. Billie Eilish makes an appearance: 10 burpees 

17. The camera pans to a member of the Marvel universe: 15 calf raises 

18. James Cordon makes a joke: 10 mountain climbers

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.
