Summertime is great. It's your chance to destress from your hectic schedule during the school year and just kick back, relax, and enjoy some sunshine. You get to return home and see family and friends who you've missed so much. Beach days and late night bonfires are abundant. Plus, you don't have to worry about waking up for those 8 a.m.'s.

But college kids have come to find that despite how fun and luxurious summer can be, it just doesn't compare to life on campus. So, here is a list of things college students can't wait to return to in the fall:

1. Friends

You just can't wait to see all those familiar faces you love so much!

2. College parties

Whether you party in the dorms, at the frats, or at the bars, you're just dying to get your party on once again with your college buds!

3. Freedom

Face it–being at home has its restrictions. Chores, curfews, you name it. But at school? Complete freedom.

4. The weather

Everyone knows that fall weather is the best.

5. The sports

Likewise, everyone knows football season is the best season.

6. The classes (possibly)

...okay, this one might just be me.

7. Two words: dining dollars

At college, when it comes to buying meals, it almost feels as though you're getting everything for free. Well, that's because, momentarily, everything kind of is... that is, until you have to pay back all those loans in a few short years.

8. Your college town

If you're lucky, as I am, to attend school in a very cute and populated community, you realize just how much you miss being a part of it.

9. Your favorite restaurant

@B-Side... I miss you and I'll return to you soon.

10. Clubs

I mean extracurricular activities. I miss meetings and free pizza parties. For some, you may miss your sport team, your theater group, or any other group of friends you have as a result of a common interest.

11. Decorating your dorm room (or apartment)

Tapestries, posters, frames, string lights... nothing beats finally being able to set everything up and making your room super cozy.

12. Fall fashion

Boots, sweaters, cardigans, flannels, scarves... the list goes on.

13. Having a schedule

Summer is nice and all until you find yourself bored out of your mind, wishing you had something to do other than working and sleeping. Luckily, the fall semester will be here before we know it!

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.
