11 Ways To Survive The Last Week Of School
New October Sky

Between the stress of finals, packing up my dorm room, and getting ready to go home, I am in the constant need of a 24 hour nap...for seven days straight. Need some ideas to help you get through the last week of school?

Here are 11 things that are a must to get through those few last days of torture, pain and stress.

1. Naps

Even if you only have 20 minutes for a nap, TAKE IT.

2. Coffee

You deserve to spend that $2.49 for a medium iced coffee to make it through that last week of school. Also, I do too, so someone grab me a medium iced dark roast with milk and sugar, THANKS!

3. Nature Walks

Nature walks are so peaceful and calming and if it is nice out, go for a walk.

4. Dairy Queen

Well, the s'mores blizzard is back and they are life changing.

5. Netflix

("One Tree Hill" is a good choice). Start a show to binge watch whenever you need a break from that last minute stress.

6. Good Music

Make a "How to Survive the End of the Semester" playlist on Spotify and listen to it until you have no stress left.

7. Candy

8. Laughs

Spend time with your friends because some of them you may not see at the end of the semester. Make some good memories and have some great laughs to make you forget about that 13-page paper you have to write in three hours.

9. Long Showers

Use that playlist I told you to make, and go take a long, hot shower to relax.

10. Bridgewater Bagel

Do I need to say more?

11. Online Shopping

*Whips out credit card to forget about school problems*

There are many things to do to help you survive that last week of homework, finals, and absolute stress. You could also try adult coloring books because I have heard that also works.

With that, I hope every one has a stress free last week of school, and do amazing on finals!

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.
