12 Struggles UCI Students Know To Be True
University of California Irvine

Every UC school is unique and academically challenging, but there are some things that you don't understand unless you're a UCI student.

1. Showing up with the wrong Scranton.

Wait was it Form 882 or F-120 or F-288?! Well too late, the midterm is starting...

2. Encountering a raccoon in the middle of the night.

Irvine may be the safest city BUT not when you're walking in the middle of the night and find yourself face to face with the creatures of the night

3. Missing the shuttle by 1 minute and watching it sadly pull away.

I was seriously one minute late! No worries I'll just wait for the next bus in 10 minutes and be late for class. *cries*

4. Being harassed by the $2 Boba.

We understand $2 boba is a deal but there are about five other clubs selling Boba and I still don't want Boba..

5. Getting hit by a branch in Aldrich.

The weather is bipolar again..."Watch out!"

6. Getting stranded by the bus on Fridays.

I was seriously waiting for 15 minutes before I realized that the bus stopped running at 6:30. Time to walk myself home.

7. Parking Violations

As if paying for the expensive parking isn't enough.

8. Having a full lecture and having to sit on the ground.

Seriously?!

9. Showing up to the dining hall as it closes.

I was walking as fast as I could, can I at least grab some fruit?!?

10. Trying to find a table and when you do there is only one person there.

Are you seriously watching Netflix? I need to study! Also this may be the only table in Gateway/Langson with enough plugs and you have the whole table to yourself. Rude!

11. Waiting in the Starbucks line.

All I want is to do is grab coffee before class. Is that too much to ask for?

12. Having the fire alarm go off as you are trying to study/sleep.

It's almost as if people enjoy setting the fire alarm off without there actually being a fire.

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.
