Ah, midterms. They sneak up on us faster than we could ever imagine. Seriously, where did the semester go? Handling midterms is a complicated process that must be handled with care and consideration and all preparation for these important exams must be taken very, very seriously.

1. Caffeinate

Coffee, coffee, coffee.

2. Sleep

Don't leave your bed. It's a trap.

3. Avoid all responsibility

Don't forget to bring others down with you as well.

4. Burn your homework

You'll also want to consider adding your notes, quizzes, and any other educational materials. Burn, baby, burn.

5. Drink

And drink and drink some more. Do you really have a midterm if you can't remember it?

6. Caffeinate some more

Now you have to deal with your hangover and your preparation for exams. You might want to double or triple the espresso.

7. Continue avoiding responsibilities

It seems perfectly reasonable to take this time to build a blanket fort, watch six hours of YouTube, or color in your new coloring book. I mean, what else do you have to do?

8. Eat your feelings

...And if anyone judges you, eat them too.

9. Watch Netflix

Remember all of the shows you've never made time to watch? Now is the time.

10. Cry

I mean we didn't really need a career anyway, right?

11. Give Up

Oh, the joys of college.

12. Repeat

The cycle of dealing with midterms is one that seems to go on and on. But, this soon shall pass. Good luck, fellow students, and may the curve be ever in your favor!

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.
