As we are finishing our fall semester, we are literally begging for winter break to come. Most students get about a month off, which sounds great, until you're about half way through break and dying from boredom. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love being home and seeing my family, but I really miss my second home at school. Here's a list of 10 thoughts every college student has over winter break!

1. Can we go back early? I'm bored.

I am dying to get back to my home away from home.

2. I miss my friends. Why do they have to live so far?

Most of my friends from school live in other states so it's not a quick, easy drive to see them. Knowing once we get back they'll be a quick walk across campus makes me happy because now they're like family.

3. I'm so bored, I wouldn't even mind being in class right now

Did I just say that? I got so used to having something to do everyday, that I don't know what to do with all my spare time.


4. I should stop binge watching Netflix shows

All I did this break was watch Netflix and now I'm running out of shows to watch. Should I watch that series over again? I already watched it twice, why not one more time?

5. The good thing about being home is no 8 a.m. classes!

I want to go back, but I don't miss any 8 A.M. classes at all. Nothing is worse then hitting the alarm button at 7:30 knowing you have what will feel like the longest class in the world.

6. I am glad I didn't have to walk across campus in the snow... yet.

It seems like the walk to class is 10x longer when it's snowing. Plus you have to concentrate on walking so you don't slip and make a fool of yourself. It's nice to wake up to snow knowing you don't have to be out in it.

7. I'll miss homemade food

The food isn't terrible at school, but it's just not the same as eating food your mom makes.

8. I'm bored

Oh, I already said that. But it's still true.

9. I don't want to leave my pets again

Do you think my mom would notice if I packed them up and took them with me?

10. It's already the start of the second semester. Time is going way too fast

I feel like I just started the fall semester yesterday. Soon it will be time for summer break. What will I do then?

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.
