1. Parking Services.

We can barely afford gas, let alone a parking ticket (or 5).

2. Black Jack Road

Was that a pothole or an animal? Wait, am I on the right side of the road?

3. The Highway 12 drive to Walmart.

4 miles and 7 red lights later...

4. 11 A.M. kickoffs.

To be fair, the 11 A.M. kickoff curse finally ended when we beat Texas A&M. Who saw that one coming?

5. 8 A.M. classes.

*puts on hat to cover up dirty hair, eye bags, and the lack of desire to get up when the alarm goes off 7 times in a row*

6. Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

Turkey and hot chocolate don't go together for a reason.

7. 20 Questions over Thanksgiving Break.

"So who was that in your pictures?" "Are y'all dating?" "How's school going?" "What's your GPA looking like?" "Are you ready for finals?" "Did I already ask you if you're seeing anyone?

8. Cumulative Finals

Do you really expect me to remember everything you taught at the beginning of the semester?

9. Campus Crosswalks

Can you walk any slower? Let me know.

10. Having to Choose Where to Eat

You'd think food would be an easy decision, but there's just so many options.

11. Guys That Wear Axe Body Spray

Although, it is impressive how far away I can be and still be able to smell you.

12. Craving Chick-Fil-A on Sunday

Why must I want you when I can't have you?

13. Winning the Egg Bowl.

Our 5-7 records may be the same, but bragging rights for a year make it all worth it in the end.

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.
