When you are in a relationship, a million things can be going on so just remember you do these five things for yourself.

1. Stay healthy, physically and mentally 

Whenever you start a relationship, it is statically proven that couples will typically gain weight. Once you settle down, you don't need to care as much about your appearance, and you typically eat out more often. Make sure you are still taking care of your body and your health because you don't want to realize six months in that you've gained 10 lbs.

Also, make sure that you are mentally healthy. Have open and honest lines of communication with your partner if you are ever stressed or anxious because keeping it bottled in only makes everything worse.

2. Make time with your friends 

No matter how in love you are you also need to make sure you keep a healthy relationship with your friends. Whether it is spending every other weekend with them or dedicating time to watch your favorite show together, make sure you don't forget about them when you start a new relationship.

3. Make time for yourself

This may be one of the most important things you need to remember to do in your life. Although spending the day cuddling sounds amazing, you need to make sure you have some time to yourself too. Whether it's making sure you spend enough time studying or doing homework or just relaxing on your own, doing your own thing, just make sure you carve out some alone time.

4. Make sure you are happy 

This is similar to the first one, but you need to make sure you are happy. If you are not happy in your relationship, why are you still in it? Love is only supposed to better your life and make you happier and your partner should never continuously bring you down, they should lift you up.

5. Have fun 

Balancing your life between your partner, friends, and yourself should not be added stress in your life. If you found the right partner and you have great friends it should all come naturally. Just make sure you are able to have fun in your life. You only get every day once so just live your life to its fullest extent and enjoy!

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.

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.
