Grab a stuffed animal or friend if you have one.

1. Your bank account

It's only two months into your first semester of college, but somehow all of your money is gone. It must be wizardry.

2. Your responsibilities

At the time, it may have seemed like a good idea to join 14 clubs while working a part-time job and taking 17 credit hours. Wait, how did this ever seem like a good idea?

3. Freshman 15

I swear the brownies in the dining hall call my name as I walk by. Eating healthy is a real struggle.

4. Saturday hangovers

For all you 21-and-over peeps, the struggle couldn't be more real. No wonder the dining hall serves brunch until 3 pm.

5. This election

*shudders* I don't even want to talk about this one. It which shall not be named is closing in to seal our doom. Thanks, Obama.

6. Facing your extended family on Thanksgiving

If there's one thing I don't give thanks for, it's all the questions about my career choice and future. Believe me, if I knew the answer it would be in my Instagram bio.

7. Climate change

If you don't believe it's real, you don't believe in science. Shoutout to France for banning plastic.

8. Campus food

It's gotten to the point where all the food is starting to taste the same. Follow my lead and start emailing your Mom recipes to make when you visit home.

9. Your love life

This could go two ways. You are either forever alone or "it's complicated." Not sure which one is worse.

10. Group projects

This needs no explanation.

11. How fast time flies

We only have two months left of 2016. TWO MONTHS. I honestly feel like it's still 2012.

12. Donald Trump

It's like someone plucked a villain from a movie and had him run for president.

13. The future

I can't even decide what I want to eat for dinner tonight let alone my career path.

There you have it, the 13 scariest things imaginable. Have a good but safe Halloween everyone. Stay spooky.

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.
