So, what is so significant about this three-week mark? Today started the first day of fall, tomorrow the second. Aka no more summer, and the beach is officially closed. It's still a hundred degrees out, and my dorm room AC is still broken. We are all finally comfy in are cardboard box dorms room we call home, and are hopefully showing up to our not so fun classes. Here are fifteen not so positive things we realize at this point in the semester.

1. Sylly week is over.


It was all fun and games while it lasted, but now I'm broke and I don't even know where my syllabus is.

2. I can't do class anymore.


I have twelve papers due and my blackboard is exploding.

3. I guess it's time to do laundry.

When one load of laundry cost $2.50 a wash, you make it fit .

4. I need water, shampoo, toilet paper, lotion, and everything else.


Good thing I have a total of $0.97 in my bank account.

5. I should probably call my mom.


"I miss you and the dog. Can you come and bring him here please?"

6. Motivation Level.


7. Where are all my clothes??


The weekend: aka a shopping spree in each other's closets.

8. What is my major, and why did I choose it?


Why would any normal human being decide to be a biochemical engineer surgeon?

9. I need a job.


I don't want to work cause I will miss fun things. If I don't work how will I pay for these fun things?

10. I'm gonna drop out and become a prostitute.


The average prostitute grosses around $US 290,000 in turnover per year. And guess what? No one will care what you got in college algebra.

11. I wonder what it's like to sleep.


When you actually have the opportunity to sleep, fifteen other priorities will pop up.

12. Why do textbooks cost hundreds of dollars?


This gigantic book of paper cost three hundred dollars. Three hundred dollars, on top of my twenty thousand dollar tuition. That I will never use again after this semester.

13. Why didn't I transfer?


For three years I have said I'm leaving this school. I still hate this place. I am still here.

14. I hate this school and the food, and everything in it.


I miss real food and being able to open a door without having to swipe my ID and carry around keys. I am in prison.

15. There is still 13 weeks left in the semester.

We're not even halfway through it, it's just getting started.

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.
