11 Thoughts Every Commuter Has In The Morning

If you've landed yourself an internship, or simply have to commute into the city on the reg, then it's likely you've faced some tough mornings. Having commuted into Boston this summer via the commuter rail, there have definitely been some mornings where I boasted the ever-basic statement of, "I can't even." If you share the same struggle, here are a few thoughts you may have had during your daily commute.

1. Why is this so mother-freaking expensive?

$7.50 one way? Add $4.25 for parking at the station and that's basically $20 a day, and my bank account is crying.

2. Please don't have anyone sit next to me this morning.

I love sharing and all, but this morning I could totally use some space.

3. Maybe the conductor won't check for tickets this morning and I'll save that $7.50.

One can dream.

4. Is it just me, or is the train moving extra slow today?

I love when the train randomly stops on the track to let another one pass.

5. Okay, so now we're at how many more stops? 5? Hustle up people, find a seat.

The faster you sit the faster we move!

6. Thank God I have my earphones in ... time to pretend I'm in a music video and look dreamily out the window.

This should entertain me for the next five minutes.

7. I hope that guy wakes up before his stop.

Well it's his deal so ...

8. Oh God, now I'm getting sleepy.

I have to find myself a coffee ...

9. One more stop! Hallelujah!

It's truly an unexplainable bliss.

10. Alright, just gonna get up now and move to the front of the train car so I can get off the train faster than everyone else.

I'm so sly.

11. Farewell, Commuter Rail, I'll be back for you at 5:00.

Can't wait to do it all again!

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.
