The 2 Weeks Before Spring Break As Told By The Office

It's all fun and games until you realize exactly how much work you have to get done before your Spring break can even begin.

The 2 Weeks Before Spring Break As Told By The Office

Winter break is long gone and you are now in the full-swing of the Spring semester. The papers, exams, and homework assignments are piling up and you are getting to the point of exhaustion. With no long weekends in sight (unless you are lucky enough to have President's Day off), you simply cannot wait for Spring Break. In the last couple weeks before Spring Break, the following thoughts are likely to cross your mind:

"Really, there are only two weeks until Spring Break?! I am so happy now."

You have been so caught up in the stress of the semester, that you did not even really realize that you only have to get through two more weeks of classes.

"Wait, I have so much work I have to get done before then....."

Midterms, projects, papers, exams.... I have to do four of each in the next two weeks before break....

"I am not even going anywhere for Spring Break, it is not even going to be fun."

All my friends are going to warm tropical places and I am stuck here. I officially do not even have anything fun to look forward to doing on break.

"There is only one week left until break and I do not think I am going to make it."

Yeah, it will be a miracle if I do not fail all of my midterms and my GPA does not plummet. Also, will I ever sleep again?

"Why are you assigning even more assignments for me to do over break?! A week is not even going to be enough time for me to recover from the torture you have put me through this half of the semester."

Spring break is supposed to be a break, not a reason to pile on tons of assignments. I am a walking zombie right now and I need to have one stress free week but clearly, that is not going to happen.

"Yes, I realize it is the last Thursday before break but sorry, I cannot go out tonight because I have a ten page paper due tomorrow that I have not started."

I am not as lucky as you are, I have a Friday class. Have fun without me, I will be in the library for the next fourteen hours, writing. See you after break.

"Spring break is finally here!!! I could not be more excited! Now, I am going to go sleep for the next two days, at least."

I managed to survive these last awful two weeks and all I want to do is lay down. I am still amazed that I made it out alive.

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.
