15 Songs For Your Semester

1. "I Love College" by Asher Roth

Simply a classic.

2. "Opposite of Adults" by Chiddy Bang

Even though we are all technically "adults," we're still just a bunch of college kids. The bars taken from Kids by MGMT (also a great one) is too cool for school.

3. "Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots

Just look at the title ...

4. "Campus" by Vampire Weekend

I walk in sync with this song while I'm "walking 'cross the campus."

5. "Go The Distance" from "Hercules"

I'm not afraid to admit that this song makes me emotional. "I know every mile will be worth my while" serves as great inspiration when you're about to give up during finals week.

6. "22" by Taylor Swift

I don't know about you, but I'm feelin' like this song was a given. It's a college girl's anthem and will forever stay in my top 10 TSwift songs ever.

7. "I Hate College (Remix)" by Sammy Adams

As a play on No. 1 on this list, I almost like it better than the original. It's got a fun beat, even though we DEFINITELY love college.

8. "Weightless" by All Time Low

All Time Low assures us that maybe it's not our weekend, but it dang sure is gonna be our year.

9. "We’ll Be Alright" by Travie McCoy

This uber upbeat song is so bright and rhythmic that it can immediately lift your mood! Guaranteed to make you feel better when you got the blues in your home away from home.

10. "Begin Again"by The Summer Set

Just as the title suggests, a new school year is a new beginning! New year, new you. Don't worry to try new things, go out of your comfort zone cause "everything's fine."

11. "Let’s Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas

OK, seriously who DOESN'T get pumped when this song comes on. Please find me that ONE person, and I will personally set them straight.

12. "IV Sweatpants" by Childish Gambino

Childish Gambino has become my most recent obsession and this song was the start of it all. The wordplay is snappy and smart. "Don't be mad cause I'm doin' me better than you doin' you."

13. Love Myself by Hailee Steinfield

I gotta say, Hailee Steinfeld is doin' pretty well for an actress-turned-singer, and I was pleasantly surprised with "Love Myself." It's super-fun, pure and happy with a good message.

14. Hella Good by No Doubt

"Hella Good" is an oldie but goodie pulled from Gwen Stefani's prime. The drums in the beginning alone make me wanna get up and dance and only gets better from there.

15. "House Party" by Sam Hunt

House parties come with the college territory, whether a giant bash or a small get-together. So turn that TV off, break out the boom box out and play some of these tunes and more.

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.
