21Thoughts We've All Had While Writing An Essay
People Magazine

For many, writing an essay serves as an extremely long and emotional process, filled with an amalgamation of all kinds of life-changing thoughts. It’s a scary time. One in which a person is able to question his/her abilities, existence, and poor choices (oftentimes regarding excessive caffeine intake).Therefore, it is important and necessary that we take a moment to reminisce on all of the ridiculous thoughts we have all possessed along the way.

1. I probably should have gone to class.


2. I’m not even sure if I’m writing English right now.


3. If I make my font size .5 bigger will anyone notice?


4. Wow. I'm actually a professional bullshitter.


5.Wait hold on.. I have no clue what I’m writing.


6. No thesaurus.com. “Whence” is not the same as “therefore.”


7. Alright. Who can I pay to write this for me?


8. Is it still considered plagiarism if I cite the person I stole this essay from?


9. Obviously they make us use "Times New Roman." It's the smallest f*cking font.


10. If I fail this essay, it'll be alright. I have other talents.


11. WHY ME?


12. Maybe if I take a nap this will all just disappear.


13. All those years of school and I still can't tell you what the hell MLA format is.


14. At this rate, I'm going to grow white hairs before the caffeine hits me.

15. I'm just gonna marry rich.


16. Grammar is so unnecessary.


17. I think I’m just repeating myself at this point.


18. Yes. Checking Instagram every five minutes does in fact enhance my writing capabilities.


19. I did not ask to be brought into this world.


20. 9-11 I am NOT okay.


21. I need twelve pages and I'm at a solid six right now.



21. Okay. I give up. This is as good as it's getting.

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.

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.
