1. Home cooked meals

Three months of no dining hall food: my taste buds can hardly believe it.


2. Unlimited mom hugs

The ones you always wanted when you got your grade back after a bad midterm. Gotta make up for lost time.


3. Weather I can deal with

I just want some weather that I'm used to.


4. Friends!!!

Time to catch up on every crazy thing that's happened to you in the last nine months. It'll take you the full summer to get every story.


5. My bed

The comfort of a good mattress and not just a mattress topper.


6. Pets

I can finally cuddle my cat and secretly let my dogs sleep on my bed again.


7. Sleeping in

Lord knows I can't do this at school. I will make it my goal to get back all of the hours I missed out on.


8. My car

I mean yeah I'm tired from not sleeping, but I'm also tired of having to find a ride all the time. My beautiful car has been sitting in the driveway all this time and I cannot wait to be back behind the driver's wheel.


9. Cable

No more waiting for things to come out online or on Netflix. I can finally watch my tv shows when the rest of the world does and not have to avoid spoilers on social media.


10. Local restaurants

The worst part about leaving home is losing my "loyal customer" status to my favorite food places. I have every intention of achieving this level once again.


11. Reuniting with my family

Siblings and parents and whatever else you have or don't have. It's nice when everyone is back together and can be weird together once again.

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.
