Signs You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group

Friends are very important to most of us, and some of us take it a bit too far- we go full mom with it. I bet you can think of a girl in your group of friends pretty quickly that takes the role of the mother.. there's always at least one. Here are a few signs that you are that Mother Hen-

You find yourself always.....

Volunteering to go to doctor appointments with them

Because someone needs to be there to hold their hand, and you want to be there with them every step of the way.


Telling them how proud you are of them when they do well on an exam

Because we all need that support, and giving a person praise after a success is very important.


Needing to approve every guy they bring home

Because if he doesn’t recognize how amazing your best friend is, he CLEARLY does not deserve her. I'm watchin' you buddy, don't screw it up.


Making sure they text you when they arrive somewhere

You may or may not be waiting by the phone every time.... you just want to know they’re safe!!


Being the one that’s there to hold them when a stupid guy breaks their heart

Because you wouldn’t have it any other way.


Reminding them to PLEASE BE CAREFUL anytime they’re about to do something reckless because you can’t handle the thought of them getting hurt

Because you love them, and if it’s preventable, why let them get hurt? The worrying gets a bit distracting when you know they're out doing things.....


Always keeping the food supply full to make sure none of your friends go hungry- especially on the bad days


You get special gifts for every holiday for each of them

Because you like watching their reactions and making them feel special. Oh and not to mention you can't resist the shopping opportunity!!


Your friends know not to come up to you and talk about recent adult activities they partook in

Because they know you so DO NOT want to hear about it.


They all come to you for advice (even if you have ABSOLUTELY NO experience with the problem at hand)

Because somehow, you think of things to say every time, and it miraculously helps most of the time.


EMBRACE YOUR MOMHOOD, SOMEONE HAS TO!

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

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.
