10 Things You Do When Spring Semester Ends

1. Panic about your grades.

You've probably checked if you're professors updated your final grade about 100 times.

2. Be depressed about being separated from your friends.

Everyone is going back to their hometowns, studying abroad or traveling. You'll all have to keep in contact through texting and social media.

3. Pack your life back into a suitcase.

You're going to have to fit everything you brought to school plus everything you probably shouldn't have bought during the semester.

4. Dealing with your parents again.

Sure you missed them, but now that you're back home with your parents, they're treating you like a kid all over again. Even though you've been independent for the past 6 months.

5. Get a summer job.

Might as well make a couple bucks with all your free time! Even if your customer service skills could use a bit of work.

6. Realize that you should have started working on that summer bod months ago.

Summer came faster than you thought it would and now you regret not going to the gym after class.

7. Sell your books.


Whats worse than purchasing a $400 dollar book? Selling it for $25.

8. Let out your final thoughts on Rate My Professor.

Voice your opinions about the professors you had this semester that you've held in for too long.

9. Promise yourself next semester will be better.

Even though you make this promise every semester, maybe there is a chance next semester will be different?

10. ...Absolutely nothing.

Remember all that fun stuff you wanted to do but you were too busy studying? Now you have so much time that you don't even know what to do with 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.
