11 Stages of Shattering Your Phone
Casey Moriarty

In the past, I have been SUPER careful with my electronics. I had two iPhones prior to the one I have now, and I did not scratch them at all. In fact, they were in such good shape for when I went for my upgrades, they took the phones back and I got a discount. So this past week, when I dropped my phone and completely shattered it, I was really disappointed in myself. LOL. Here are the various stages of shattering and then trying to fix your iPhone:

1. Actually dropping your iPhone.

I dropped it on the corner of a sidewalk and grass. Unfortunately it did not land on the grass.

2. The moment of hope that the screen didn't actually shatter.

When I dropped it I could literally hear the glass break so in the back of my mind I knew my chances were low. But hey, a girl can dream.

3. Looking at the screen and feeling your heart break.

Based off my facial reaction, I wasn't really surprised because the way my luck goes, my phone was bound to shatter sometime soon. But internally, you bet I was crying.

4. Showing everyone what you did to your phone.

Yeah, idk it's just a great topic of conversation.

5. Living with a cracked screen for a few days.

I couldn't really read anything correctly and every time I went to snapchat someone, there was a weird blur on the screen because I damaged the front facing camera.

6. Getting glass shards in your fingers.

I never thought this actually happened. I just figured my friends who this happened to were being dramatic. But I seriously got glass splinters and they DO hurt.

7. Fighting the crowd at the Apple Store.

No seriously, is there ever a time when this store is not packed??? God Bless the patience of those Geniuses

8. Waiting the four hours it took to fix it.

Okay four hours may be an exaggeration, but it definitely felt that long. It may have been about two and half hours. Idk why it took so long because the Apple Store is usually very prompt, but it took a while and I HATE the mall so this was a miserable day.

9. Having to pay for your mistake.

It sucks to have to spend money on something that was completely avoidable, especially when your ballin on a budget.

10. REALIZING YOU HAVE APPLE CARE!!!!!!

GREATEST news of the day!

11. Finally getting a brand new screen!

I promise I will cherish you my precious new screen <3

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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

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.
