As the semester begins, remember these 13 things we’ve all done in class. You know I’m right.

1. Doodles

How many irrelevant drawings can fit in one page of your notebook?

2. Passing notes

We've all done it and we know how stressful passing a note across the room to your BFF can be. Strategically planning it out so it doesn't get to the wrong person always turns out to be a funny scenario.

3. Online Shopping

If you aren't shopping, what is using a computer in class for anyway?

4. Small Talk

Why pay attention when you could be joking around with your buddies or talking to your crush. 😉

5. Other homework

And of course, this is what happens when you're doing other homework in class.

6. Nap, nap, nap.

There truly isn't enough time to nap.

7. Giving yourself tattoos.

Because your hand is always a better place to make a cool doodle.

8. Facebook creeping.

That awkward moment when you catch the person behind you creeping on you creeping on Facebook.

9. Taking BuzzFeed quizzes.

Should I leave class right now for a walk? YES... always YES.

10. Braiding your hair over, and over, and over.

And subsequently, getting requests from girls in your class to braid their hair aswell.

11. Catching up on last nights episode of your favorite show.

Hoodies, headphones or bust!

12. Watching cooking videos.

There is always something completely revolutionary and mesmerizing to watch when it comes to cooking videos.

13. Those eventful five-minute trips to the "bathroom".

We've all been here, we all love it, and we all will always take advantage of those few minutes in the halls.

Besides, what else are we in school for?

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
