The Naval Academy is a fairly diverse place, but we all know the stereotypes of the motivators, cynics, and athletes. Based on my experiences, I added a few more to the list.

1. The Motivator

Can be found in the MacD or the barbershop.

2. The Cynic

Always happy to tell you about how none of this matters anyway.

3. The Traditionalist

In case you haven't heard, the Academy has gone soft.

4. The Love Chitter

Wait... since when are you in our company???

5. The Sleep-Deprived Engineer

Dark circles so intense they don't seem real.

6. The Striper who got Volun-told

They didn't ask for this, okay? And no, they don't have time to chat.

7. The Guy who studied abroad

Tbh we all forgot his name.

8. The SEAL pup

*Skips service assignment to work out*

9. The Guy who would Service-Select CMOD, if he could.

ALWAYS ON WATCH

10. The Guy who lives in Mac-D

And consumes protein powder in unhealthy amounts.

11. The Magician

Hey we need somebody to .... wait where'd he go?

12. The Varsity Athlete

You've seen them like five times since Reform. And you're roommates.

13. The Hermit

Never leaves their room. Except for formation... most days.

14. The Varsity NARP

Intramurals are not a joke, guys, we need to take ultimate frisbee very seriously if want to win the championship.

15. The Company Mom

Always makes sure everyone is doing alright... lowkey our favorite person.

16. The Frat Star

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.
