Oakland University has many perks...as well as, many downfalls. As all universities do.

Eighty percent of Oakland students are commuters. The other 20% are students who reside on campus, but we all face similar problems during the winter semester.

Besides the fact that we live in Michigan and we expect cold weather during the winter, lots of other winter occurrences make OU a special school to attend in the winter.

The Simpsons are an animated family struggling to survive the winter season. They are the perfect family to describe OU's winter probs.

Eat my shorts, winter!

1. You're willing to be late to class in order to get a closer parking spot

2. Moving your car from parking lot to parking lot throughout the day

3. We appreciated the workout in nicer weather, but this hilly campus is killin' us now

4. When it's slushy and the yellow lines are hard to see, so the lot is a mess

5. You can't wear your moccasins because they'll be destroyed after walking to class and your feet will freeze

6. Hilly campus = slip risk maximized

7. When the walk from the OC to Vandenberg becomes a Narnia movie

8. When you're in a class that doesn't have windows, so you have no idea what kind of weather happened within that 1 hour and 47 minutes



9. Wishing you were an actually grizzly bear because hibernation

10. You think Spring Break means warm weather, yet our spring break is in February.

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.
