School is starting...again. No matter how much it might feel like summer will never end when it's May, August always comes (sorry). Regardless of if you love your school or can't wait to come home again, the end of summer always tastes a bit bittersweet. Yes, you have Fall and football and cozy sweaters to look forward to, but there also tends to be a tiny bit of homework and an enormous level of stress hidden in there as well. So here are a few thoughts you're more than definitely thinking as school creeps up around the corner.

1. How is it Fall already?

Weren't we just moving back home?

2. Wait, I get to see my best friends again?!

3 months is a long time, and nothing beats the excitement of seeing the people you love again.

3. You're wondering how you'll find time to pack when you're still working 24/7.

You need a vacation.

4. You check the cost of your textbooks and wonder if you really need them.

Make money get...broke?

5. You realize you're going to be broke again in a matter of months.


Between food, coffee and books, its RIP to your bank account.

6. Better eat all you can before you move out and eat like a peasant.

Can you bring your mom's cooking to college?

7. You're going to miss your mom...a lot.

How will you survive without her?

8. Scratch that, you'll miss your dog.

I wonder if they'd allow dogs in my dorm.

9. You laugh at the naive freshmen on move in day.

They won't know what hit em.

10. You realize all you're be doing is studying...all the time.

What's free time?

11. You've never been more thankful for syllabus week.

It's a gift.

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.
