Youtube Is Superior To Netflix— Especially For College Students Who Need A Little Study Break
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRPNw6_SfTA

Don't get me wrong, I love the endless amount of shows Netflix has to offer. As a college student, I just don't have time to binge watch hour-long episodes anymore. If I need a quick study break, I go straight to my YouTube app.

YouTube has been around since 2005, but I feel like it is at its peak right now. There is content for everyone to enjoy. There are mommy bloggers, teenage vloggers, beauty channels and more. The cool thing about YouTube is that everyone's own life perspectives are right there at your fingertips. It's neat to see how people live their day-to-day lives. This is exactly why I enjoy watching vlogs so much.

Personally, my favorite YouTuber is David Dobrik. He posts vlogs twice a week that are each under five minutes. They don't take much time to watch, therefore I feel more productive throughout the day and I don't ever feel guilty for watching them. Every night before I go to bed, I'll watch a couple of his videos. I also enjoy many other accounts. Shows like American Idol and The Voice have their own accounts and they post clips from their episodes. I don't have time to keep up with the live episodes, so this is the perfect way to catch the highlights.

If you ever feel like you are drowning in schoolwork or any other responsibilities, and you don't have time to watch the full-length episodes of the hottest new show, I recommend looking into YouTube. Just search for whatever topic you are interested in, and I promise you will find something you like. You can make an account and subscribe to all of your favorite channels and even sign up for notifications every time one of your favorite YouTubers uploads a new video. There are videos for everyone!

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.
