10 Ways to Have a Successful Spring Term

Spring break is over and it is time for everyone to start fresh. Whether it is working on your cumulative gpa or setting goals to be a better person, everyone has something they want to achieve. Especially for University of Oregon students, spring term is the highlight of the school year and it is goodbye rain and hello sunshine!

But sometimes the sun can shine to bright and you can miss where you are headed. So here are a few things to help you get through these next 10 weeks.

1. Call your mom...

Seriously, you'd be surprised how refreshing a normal conversation can be and trust me she's worried so just touch base and explain how your C+ is technically a B.

2. Go out and have a good time.

Get out of the house! The sun should not be taken for granted in Eugene. Day parties, bike rides to Autzen and just laying in the sun is good for your sanity.

3. Don't overly drink.

Again we know how turnt Spring term can get, but you don't want to ruin it by drinking too much and making a fool of yourself!

4. School, School and School.

You have an 8am tomorrow so it is probably best you don't go out the night before. Make this term worth it, you're probably taking all gen ed's anyways.

5. Stay hydrated.

Drink lots and lots of water. It will keep you well and prepared for your plans throughout the next 10 weeks!

6. Eat healthy.

Set a goal to not just work out but taking care of your body. More fruits and veggies won't hurt.

7. Meet new people.

I know being with the same people every weekend is a norm because it's comfortable. But there are so many other people that you might actually like! Connections are everything.

8. Go to festivals/concerts.

Odesza, Sasquatch, Coachella and everything else. Plan a trip with your friends and take a break from the Eug and enjoy some good company and music.

9. Go somewhere other than Spencer's Butte.

Exploregon! Get out and adventure, Oregon has so much to offer when it comes to nature. Get a breath of fresh air.

10. Save money.

Don't go out to eat every weekend, or buy another color of the same t-shirt dress and maybe only go to Dutch once a day...You'd be surprised how much money over time you could accumulate.


Make this the best term ever for you. Go Ducks and SkoSpringTerm!

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
