12 Things You Experience Senior Year Of College

Hello, final semester of college! Three point five years down and point five left to go. Prepare yourself for the emotional roller coaster that is your final semester of college. Who better to help explain your impending emotions and experiences than the comforting cast of Parks and Rec.

Embracing Your Senior Swagger


Why yes I am a senior, what are you a freshmen? HA! I see you bought all your textbooks, rookie mistake.

Senior-itis

Grades, don't care. Homework, not going to do. Sleep here I come.

Increased Drinking During the Week

When in the adult world are people able to get drunk on a Thursday? or a Tuesday? Or Monday? Better take advantage of this now.

The Hangovers After

I'm going to die, then throw-up. I swear hangovers weren't this bad freshmen year.

The Family Induced Rage

If one more family member asks, 'What are your plans after graduation?' or 'Any job prospects' things are going to get real violent real fast.

Crippling Anxiety About The Future

I don't need college, I can just be a hobo...do hobos get Netflix? Cause as long as I have canned beans and Netflix I'm good.

Small Moments of Excitement

Holy sh*t! No more school ever again! No more teacher who don't speak English, no more homework, no more stress over finals!

Getting Sentimental

Everyone is leaving, forever. I love this campus and this broken vending machine and the stupid sculpture that I walk by.

Being Impressed That You Made It This Far

I could've failed out, but I didn't. I could've become an alcoholic, but I didn't. Go me.

Dying A Little After Looking at Your Student Debt

What kind of drugs was I on when I took out loans!? Is this even legal?

Bullsh*ting Your Way Through Endless Interviews

Please just hire me, I have debt. So much debt!


Acceptance

Ok...Adulting...I can do it...yes! Here I come retirement plans and more complicated taxes!

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.
