26 Thoughts Every College Student Has Had Before Bed
College Times

We are college students. This means that we've passed the horrific part of our life where we have to set our alarms for 6AM everyday for our high school classes, have our parents drive us everywhere, and have our parents call us about why we're late for our curfew. These little, yet super important changes are just a few of the reasons why I can sleep better at night.... At least until those late night thoughts hit. Guess some things will never change? Here are 26 of my #LateNightThoughts that I've experienced as a college student -- and you probably have, too.

1. "Wait... was that paper due tomorrow?"

2. "I haven't called my parents in a while... I wonder if they're awake right now."

3. "It's a Thursday night... Why am I not going out right now?"

4. "At least I'm not still in high school."

5. "How many days until the weekend?"

6. "Hm... Should I check my bank account, my weight, or grades to commence tonight's mental breakdown?"

7. "I wonder if my friends are up right now and wanna hang out."

8. "I'm bored." – *Opens Snapchat, catches up on snapchats*

9. "I'm bored." – *Opens Twitter, catches up on tweets*

10. "I'm bored." – *Opens Instagram, catches up on pictures*

11. "I'm bored." – *Opens Facebook, catches up on grandma*

12. "I'm still bored." – *Repeats #8-11 a thousand more times*

13. "OK if I go to bed right now that will give me almost [insert less than necessary number of hours of sleep to function] hours until my first class tomorrow."

14. "OK it's already really late... Do I really have to go to my first class tomorrow?"

15. "Why is my sleep schedule so messed up?!"

16. "Maybe if I check my school email enough, one of my professors with send out a "class is cancelled" notification."

17. "Maybe I should get up early and workout tomorrow..... LOL nah."

18. "I'm hungry... But food is so far away."

19. "I'm thirsty... But drinks are so far away."

20. "I have to pee... BUT THE BATHROOM IS SO FAR AWAY"

21. "Wow, I'm in bed really early tonight - I'm proud of myself! .... But that means I'm definitely forgetting something"

22. "What am I going to say the next time someone asks me what my major is/what I want to do for the rest of my life?"

23. "I could be saving so much money if I didn't have to pay for college"

24. *Remembers that super embarrassing thing last weekend*

25. "Should I be doing something more productive right now.... Or with my entire life, in general?"

26. "OK enough is enough - PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER... Yep, it's bed time."

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.
