It's that time in the semester. Mid-term grades being released, exam after exam after project after exam, and no sleep.

Wow. Already time for spring break. This spring semester sure is flying by fast, now isn't it? There are many things that all of us college students are feeling right now. It's kind of like a doughnut. The bread/cake part is all of the negative, with our tears creating the icing, and some positive thoughts sprinkled on top with humor to get us all through. Here are just some of the thoughts that all of us are experiencing right now:

1. Wait, how many essays/assignments do I have? Are any optional?

2. It's all good. Due tomorrow still means do tomorrow, even if there's a lot to do.

3. Crap... What's the policy on turning things in late again?

4. How is it ALREADY mid-term season??

5. How much of my final grade is depending on exams???

6. WHERE IS MY SYLLABUS? IT HAS ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE ACTUALLY READ IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER.

7. Okay, calm down. You will be fine, you currently have a great grade.

8. Oh look, all of the grades from this semester are entered online.

9. Oh shit.

10. I didn't think attendance was mandatory...

11. Wow, I guess I need to study and do all of my stuff ahead of time, huh?

12. Well, looks like I won't be sleeping for the next week or so.

13. I am ready for this exam! I studied, and I am really going to try my best!

14. Well, I wasn't ready.

15. Thank God it's spring break.

16. What do you mean I have ten assignments to do over spring break? Why are professors this way? What sick joke is college?

17. I am going to do them over the final weekend, and take break to relax. Why? I DESERVE THIS.

18. After break, I am going to try harder in all of my classes. No more skipping, no more.

19. There really is only two more months of school basically. I GOT THIS!!

Seriously, you got this. You have made it halfway through the semester, you got the second half like it's nothing. Hang in there, and don't stop trying (or start). Summer break is right around the corner, and nothing but sunshine and smiles is in store for you.

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.
