11 Reasons To Thank My Brother

Since it was national sibling day, I'm feeling a rare period of affection for my little brother. No matter how much he annoys me, I'll always be grateful for him being in my life. There are a few things I'd like to thank him for.

1. Thanks for always sharing your food with me or even remembering to save some for me when I’m not there.

2. Thanks for always hiding behind random doors and inside rooms in our house to try to scare me. It always keeps me on my toes.

3. Thanks for always making dumb jokes that make mine look better in comparison.

4. Thanks for looking for food samples with me when we’re at Costco.

5. Thanks for letting me bother you and your friends whenever I’m home, even though I’m sure I end up embarrassing you.

6. Thanks for posing for pictures with me after much coercion, even though you hate it.

7. Thanks for watching children’s cartoons with me, even though we’re way too old for them.

8. Thanks for letting me help you with your homework, even when I'm annoying about it.

9. Thanks for getting into fights with me when we were younger. I would get so angry at you, but I’ve learned to deal with difficult people.


10. Thanks for teaching me how to be responsible for another person.

11. Thanks for caring, even when you like to pretend you don’t.

I may not act always act like it, but I do love my brother deep down. Appreciate your siblings because you're basically stuck together at this point!

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.
