10 Things College Kids Miss About Home

With halloween now safely under our belt, it seems as though the winter holiday season is fast approaching. As a college student, there is so much to look forward to. Here are the top 10 things that every college kid misses and cant wait to come home to on break.

1. Their own bed

I am way too excited about sleeping in my own bed again. Only 14 days left. Not that I'm counting or anything...

2. Home-cooked food

You can only eat a dining hall so many times before it becomes the most boring thing to ever hit your tastebuds. I have only been here for 3 months and I have a new found appreciation for my mom's food.

3. Quality time with friends from home

This is something I am so excited about, actually being able to hang out with your friends,in person rather than on FaceTime. It will be a little surreal, but i cant wait!!!!

4. not having to wear shower shoes.

I probably will forget and go to put my flip flops on once I am home. Actually being able to go into a shower, with no shoes, and not be scared you will get a weird fungus is a going to be a blessing.

5. Spending time with the fam.

It is the main reason you will be going home, and I don't know about you but I have missed my family more than i thought i would these past few months. Even though I am sure we will start to annoy each other after a few days, it will be good to be all together again.

6. Their room

You don't appreciate it until you are living with another person for the first time. For those of you who had to share a room growing up, I am so sorry.

7. Driving around by yourself

I don't want to EVER want to have to check the bus app again, 99% of the time its wrong anyway. not having to rely on a bus or having to walk 80 miles in a day, will be extremely lit.

8. Visiting your old high school

It's weird but its one of the things i am most looking forward to. I want to go back and walk the halls where I used attend everyday, even though It will probably make me feel like I am old AF.

9. Free laundry


i don't know about any other school.. but laundry is $1.25 for every wash and dry. if you think I am not taking advantage of a free laundry machine in my basement, you're lying to your self.


10. Sleep


Sleeping and eating are a college kid's favorite pastimes. To be able to actually sleep in, in your own bed, it will be a dream.

Even though college has been an amazing experience so far, we are all very excited to finally be able to go home for an extended period of time.

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.

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.
