10 Simple Pleasures Of A College Student
http://collegedilemma.com/causes-of-stress-among-college-students-top-5

College is a stressful time for everyone. Classes are hard, being away from home is scary, and adulthood is waiting way too closely in the future. For that reason, us college students have to find solace from all of the stress in any way we can, even if it's only getting out of class early enough to sneak in a nap or taco night in the dining hall.

1. Getting into all of the classes you wanted

Class registration season is undoubtedly one of the most stressful parts of the semester, and actually getting the schedule you wanted is a feeling like no other.

2. Not having to wait in line for a printer

If you say you've never been almost late to class because it took forever to print out your assignment, you're probably lying.

3. Getting out of class early

It's better than Christmas.

4. Even better, when class is canceled altogether

I live for e-mails from my professors saying that they're canceling class. There is no better surprise.

5. Having enough time for a nap

College students need naps like they need to breathe.

6. When the dining hall actually has good food

It's a rare but beautiful feeling.

7. FaceTiming your friends from home

It's always the best part of my day.

8. Getting in bed after finishing all your work

It's what we all live for.

9. Waking up on a weekend and realizing you still have time to lay in bed

Let's face it, any day you get to wake up without an alarm is a great day.

10. Finishing your last exam during finals week

You made it!

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.
