10 Questions I Have For Brandeis University
Serena Ng

1. Why do we have two mascots?

As much as I love Louis the Judge and Ollie the Owl, it’s pretty hard to explain to any non-Brandeis student as to why we have two mascots.

2. Why do I always feel tired walking up and down the Rabb steps?

*pants* Am I really that unfit?

3. Why is there no pork in the regular, non-kosher section of the dining halls?

I miss bacon.

4. Why do we always seem to have a lack of cutlery in Sherman?

We really need to talk about the number of times we resorted to eating with plastic forks and knives in the dining hall.

5. Will you ever officially recognize Greek life?

I personally am not involved in Greek life, but seriously, it’s about time.

6. Is it really normal to graduate college with three majors and two minors?

I just want to make sure I won’t be the only person outside of Brandeis with more than a major and a minor.

7. Why is the wifi always lagging?

Please, on behalf of all students, let me stream Netflix without the “no Internet connection” message.

8. Why can’t we have our spring break in March?

I just want to see my friends from home.

9. Will you (and the rest of the world) still love me when I become full-on 'Deisian?

Just curious.

10. Can I live in the Brandeis bubble forever?

Even though I will always call Brandeis “my super weird school,” I can’t imagine going to college anywhere else.

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.
