11 Thoughts About Starting A New Semester

As the Spring semester is just beginning at colleges across the country, and students are diving back into the college grind, here are 11 thoughts I have about starting the new semester.

1. It's actually kind of nice to be back.

Seeing college friends again and watching Netflix in a different bed –– it's all good news.

2. But I'm actually dreading the first day of classes.

Why can't we stay in this magical grace period between when we get back to school and when we start having work to do forever?

3. Do I really need all these books?

Or are they going to be 100 pounds and 700 dollars of wasted space?

4. I hope my TA grades easy.

Nothing worse than having the TA with the harshest grading in the class.

5. I hope my friends and I have a lunch break at the same time.

Everyone having new class schedules means creating a whole new set of lunch dates.

6. I promise I wont skip class this semester.

Or at least not as much as I did last semester.

7. Oh how I missed late nights in the library.

That is sarcasm. I did not miss them even one little bit.

8. Please let me have friends in my classes, please let me have friends in my classes, please let me have friends in my classes.

Or at least please let me make a class friend.

9. I promise I will do more on the weekends this semester than go to frat parties and Chipotle.

But actually I probably wont.

10. Maybe I'll actually go to the gym this semester.

New semester, new me, right?

11. I hope this semester is amazing.

Lets make this semester the best semester ever!

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.
