13 Thoughts Every College Student Has At The End Of Summer
Silvia Mordini

As the end of summer nears, college students everywhere are getting ready to go back to school. They are starting to feel excited and bittersweet all at the same time! Here are 13 things that every college student thinks towards the end of the summer!

1. Where in the world did the summer go?

It feels like you just got home for the semester yesterday!

2. Yes! I get to see all of my friends in like a month!

You've spent all summer waiting and waiting to see those people you call family away from home!

3. Ugh, I have to start classes in like a month!

Is it possible to just see my friends and not have classes? And why in the world did I take so many credits! How am I going to do this? #sleepisfortheweak

4. I am NOT ready to eat cafeteria food again.

I'm going to be sick for a week until my body adjusts. Can I just live off Ramen noodles this year?

5. Why in the world are textbooks so much money?

Who even writes these things anyway? And why do their words cost so much money? I want that job... Those little high school students better appreciate those free textbooks! They better love them and cuddle them!

6. I used to buy school clothes -- now I buy these overpriced books and I can't afford new clothes.

I guess jeans are still my "dressy" clothes... I wonder what sales Walmart is having right now?

7. Do I actually need the book for this class?


Am I actually going to read this? Probably not, but what if there's an open-book test? I'll add this to my Amazon cart just in case.

8. I should start thinking about packing.

I'll start early this year so I'm not so stressed out the night before I leave!

9. Nah, I am going to binge-watch TV/ Netflix instead. I have a whole month to pack!

Ohh! They just put the newest season of "How to Get Away With Murder" on Netflix! I'll start packing when I finish this season.

10. Is it possible to get enough sleep now for late-night papers coming up?

*Googles how many hours a person can sleep a day*

11. Frick! I only have a week to pack! Why didn't I pack sooner!?

Why did I have to watch so much Netflix?? I'm an idiot -- how can I pack my whole life in a week?

12. Why do I have SO. MUCH. STUFF?

Who needs so many things? I am going to cut down! *Looks around* But I need that scarf holder! What will I do with all my scarves?

13. I'm kind of gonna miss home.


Wait, I kind of enjoyed relaxing and hanging out with old friends. And the food... I am going to miss the food the most!

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.

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.
