My Dearest White Converse,

You have a bit of a reputation for being the "basic white girl shoe". I remember sitting in 12th grade Economics, and these two guys were talking about you. They were saying that white Converse are the Springtime UGGs. Although they weren't exactly wrong, you're just so much more than that. The reason you're considered so "basic" is because of how wonderful you are.

I can rock you in the Fall with a flannel...

I can rock you in the Winter with a sweater...

I can rock you in the Spring with a dress...

I can rock you in the Summer with high-waisted shorts...

On top of being the most versatile pair of shoes I own, you are just too comfy. The minute I slip you bad boys on my feet, I know I can conquer the world. Some may wonder why so many girls would invest in an all white shoe. Between dirt and dust at tailgates to beer soaked floors at frat parties; it's a miracle that you don't turn a greenish brown. The secret to keeping you guys so perfectly white, is yet another reason why you're so handy. The minute you guys get the slightest grass stain, all I have to do is throw you in the wash. It's as if you guys are brand new!

I honestly don't know what I would do without you in my life. Thank you for protecting my feet at crowded bars. Thank you for making my legs look extra tan in the summer. Thank you for being comfortable enough to walk 40 blocks in New York City. Thank you for being my go-to shoe all year round.

And lastly... thank you for being so great that even Zac Efron rocks you.

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.
