Now that midterms are upon college students all across America, it’s like I can hear the collective sighs, and cries, of those students in the fall breeze. If you’re overdoing homework every second of the day, you’re not alone. Here are some things I would rather do than sit down for another minute of homework

1. The Myers-Briggs Test

2. Shave My Head

3. Run A Marathon

4. Give Up Chick-Fil-A

5. Babysit for Free

6. Deep Clean the House in Fight Club

7. Join Fight Club

8. Sit Through a Silent Film

9. Stick My Hand in Hot Water

10. Walk on Shards of Glass

11. Sit Next to a Screaming Baby on a 10 Hour Flight

12. Listen to Bros Complain

13. Listen to Someone in Middle School Complain about School

14. Be Surrounded by Couples Partaking in PDA

15. Let Someone Roast Me

16. Have Someone Tell Me How to Live My Life

17. Try to Explain Black Holes

18. Not Being Able to Itch My Nose for An Extended Amount of Time

19. Watch Paint Dry

20. Calculate Your Calories for the Day

21. Stalk People You Know From High School on Facebook

Are some of these overdramatic? Sure. Are some of these a bit excessive? Yes, but so is the amount of coursework students are having to deal with. No matter where you are in your school career, except for middle school there’s no reason for you to be stressing, just know that before you know it Thanksgiving Break will be here. Soon, your troubles will be drowned in gravy and stuffing so before you go crazy because of the school work surrounding you, take a break, relax, and know that you’re not alone in the struggle bus that is schoolwork.

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.
