13 Things That Happen When You Go Home For The Summer
The Odyssey

You’ve waited all year to go home. Perhaps you haven’t been home since winter break, or at all. However long it’s been, you’ve probably missed your bed, seeing your high school friends, and going to your favorite restaurant. While going home is typically a positive experience, here are all the things that happen when you go home for the summer.

1. You see your old crew

The OG squad.

2. You have a curfew again

America, home of the free until you live under your parents' roof.

3. You no longer have to wear shower shoes

And you can sing all you want.

4. You can walk around naked again

5. Food is free

Finally some home-cooked meals.

6. You run into people from high school all over town

You'll probably run into your old crush while you're not wearing makeup and in pajamas at your local Rite-Aid.

7. You have boxes of stuff around your room

Yeah, maybe you'll unpack them at the end of the summer.

8. You watch a lot of Netflix

Hey, you missed a lot during the school year.

9. You get a job at the mall or local restaurant

It's the worst.

10. You can sleep in

Well, you can sleep in while knowing that there's no projects due soon.

11. You call your college friends everyday

"Come visit" is an overused phrase.

12. You don't have to wear headphones to listen to music or watch a movie

This is the life.

13. All while waiting to return to school

All

Summer is great, but we also can't wait to get back to school to see our friends.

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.
