There are many things I love about my university. I have a great team, professors that are supporting my every step of the way, and I've made amazing memories. Although I'm a big fan of my school I've thought of a few questions throughout my three years of being here.

1) The bell is supposed to ring at 5p.m. so why does it ring at 4:59 everyday?

2. Why is BraveWeb always being worked on?

3. Why is the only thing open on the weekends is the café?

4. Why do we feel the need to make the world record book for biggest speed bumps?

5. Why can’t we use our Brave Cards at Jersey Mikes? AM I RIGHT?!

6. Why is every single parking lot packed everyday?

7. Better question. Why am I paying for a parking pass when I can’t find a parking spot half of the time?

8. Why is our school spirit at an all time low when our teams are actually good?

9. Why do we only get 15 minutes to walk from class to class? Let me tell you, Sampson to Oxendine is a pretty far walk.

10. Why did everyone think it was good idea to build a university right next to a train track?

11. Why is the ice cream machine always broken in the café?

12. Why did the university just now start charging students to print?

13. Why did we get rid of WOW? Was it because of the slow service?

14. Why hasn’t the website been updated since my freshman year?

15. Why does our campus flood so badly?

16. What are the staff feeding the squirrels?

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.
