WallpaperCave

Winter Break. Every college students favorite nightmare. A time where we get a chance to come home for a few weeks to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, enjoy some of Mom's home-cooked meals, and converse on our absolute favorite topics about being away at school. I know we all try to avoid it, but we're bound to face these dreadful questions at some point. They just make winter break so much more cheerful, am I right? Here's a few you're going to hear....enjoy!

1. How's school going?

The number one most asked question of all time. And the answer? Great. College is just great. But we both know how it's really going...

2. Do you have all A's?

Tip: If you start laughing, it'll hide the tears from the pain of your last exam.

3. What classes are you taking?

"English, Math, and Science and I LOVE them ALL." But, you really want to say "Lit105, Econ130, BioChem 210 and they will be the death of me."

4. How many credits is that?

Hold on while I add that up for you...and no I'm not squeezing a gym class into that schedule.

5. What are your plans for after college?

Good question because I have no idea. I don't even know what I'm going to do with my life tomorrow. Maybe I'll take a nap or watch a season of "Grey's Anatomy." But who knows what I'll be doing in three years.

6. Are you dating anyone right now?

There it is...That dreadful question Grandma just had to ask...Just smile and maybe she'll stop.

7. Well, WHY aren't you dating anyone right now?

Priorities Grandma...a.k.a food.

8. What do you do on the weekends?

Oh, you know, I just hang out with friends and stuff. Nothing too crazy! Just don't look at my Snapchat story on Friday and Saturday nights.

9. Are you spending your money wisely?

Let's be real here. What money? I'm a broke college student, remember?

10. You're eating healthy and staying active right?

Sure! If you count getting up from the couch to walk to the fridge staying healthy and active.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

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.

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.
