The dreaded week is upon us. FINALS WEEK. The one we couldn't wait to get to because then that would mean the end of the semester, but also the worst week known to every college student.

Right now I am #blessed because I only have two finals to take this semester unlike most people who have 5. I feel for y'all, but also I'm really glad I don't have to take as many. Perks of being a Journalism major. Yes, I have a 15 page paper due at the end of the semester, but it's not due till the 12th so I have plenty of time right? Calm down y'all I only have 5 pages left!

Here are 10 things I would rather do than study for finals:

1. Write this article. Instead of writing my research paper, I decided to write this article along with 3 other stories. To be fair though I did work on my research paper earlier today.

2. Go grocery shopping on a Sunday during the busiest hour of the day. I mean I have to eat this week, so I need to stock up on food if I want to survive finals week.

3. Call my mom for the 3rd time because two calls just wasn't enough today.

4. Scroll through the T.V. channels to find something good to watch. The Bounty Hunter was on so I obviously had to watch it. Who doesn't love Jennifer Aniston?

5. Do some laundry even though I just did a load the night before.

6. Fold that laundry and actually put it away, especially the ones on the hangers.

7. Check out the latest gossip on my favorite celebrities.

8. Check every social media site within 20 minutes in order to stay up to date on everyone's lives I follow. Maybe check and see if they are studying for finals too!

9. Ask my friend their opinion on what I should write about next.

10. And lastly, watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" for the first time because I need to be #popcultured.

Okay so I obviously the only way for me to succeed this semester is by finishing my research paper, and studying for those two finals. At least my last final ends this Friday, then I can say hello to Christmas break! I promise to get back to studying first thing at the beginning of the week. For now I'm going to enjoy my last calm night of the week and watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" because Audrey Hepburn is iconic in this role, or at least that's what I've heard. Going to find out now!

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.
