From "Girls" To Women: Why Every 20-Something Year Old Should Tune In

I have work. I have a dinner thing. And then I am busy… trying to become who I am.

From "Girls" To Women: Why Every 20-Something Year Old Should Tune In
Screen Crush

Last night was the series finale for the HBO show “Girls” and if you ever tuned into an episode and it didn’t completely wreck your life, then f*ck you.

“Girls” follows the lives of Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna, all single gals just trying to survive the streets of New York City while figuring out what life actually wants from them and vice versa. From treading carefully through the minefield that is dating to peeing in the street to casual sex to serious sex, “Girls” revolutionized the definition of the modern female. Hannah taught us that no matter how weird life gets, you can still end up happy. Jessa taught us it’s okay to unapologetically feel everything. Shosh taught us to always be the realest of real, no matter how much your words might hurt. And Marnie taught us...actually, I’m not sure what Marine taught us. She was the worst. But most of all, the girls of “Girls” taught us that sometimes - all the time - it’s okay to be completely human. The following nine quotes are some of my favorites from the show. They need no explanation, and I’m not gonna provide them. If you want to know the context surrounding them, you’re going just going to have to watch it.









If you’ve never seen "Girls" but have always wanted to, now’s the time to binge watch. If you’ve never seen "Girls" and have no interest to, watch it anyway. It’ll change your life.

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.
