14 'Parks And Rec' GIFs That Sum Up Every College Semester

Ah, College. It can be the best of times and the worst of times. Are you even a college student if you've never gone from thinking college was the greatest experience of your life one day to considering why you decided to even come to college the next? I know I have, and I think every college student will read at least one of these "Parks and Rec" GIFs and think "Me AF".

1. Coming back from break and realizing you don't have your mom to do everything for you anymore.

What do you mean I have to buy my own groceries?

2. Being determined at the very beginning of the semester to pass all your classes with straight As.

THIS is the semester you finally get your priorities straight.

3. Deciding to 'wing' your Monday test.

Watching reruns of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" instead of studying for your Econ test probably wasn't the best decision after all.

4. Getting your first bad grade of the semester back.

One bad grade IS the end of the world when you started off with such high aspirations.

5. Getting your first good grade of the semester back.

College thought it could tear us down but we are back on top!

6. Having at least one mental break down.

Having three tests and two essays due in the same week can really take a toll on a person.

7. Becoming a therapist for all your friends.

After all, you aren't the only one knee-deep in stress.

8. Those rare nights every now and then when you decide to get decent sleep.

At this point, you've probably forgotten what feeling "not tired" was like.

9. Being reminded how awful group projects are.

Is it even possible to be put in a group where your not the only one doing the work?

10. Eating anything- especially if it's free.

Finally- something other than ramen!

11. Surviving off of naps.

There is ALWAYS time to fit in a nap if you try hard enough.

12. Nearing the end of the semester and having next to no motivation left.

You've made it so far- yet have such a long way to go.

13. Entering finals week.

You will spend most of the week questioning your sanity rather than studying.

14. Surviving the semester AND passing all of your classes.

You somehow managed to survive another semester- maybe college isn't so bad after all!

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.
