Water Street: A place where dreams come true. (Okay, so maybe not). Water Street in Eau Claire is home to many local bars and shops in which UW-Eau Claire students frequent as well as EC residents. Over the past year it has been rather difficult to get down to Water Street because of the construction on the Water Street bridge. (Don't worry, the locals were still able to find a way there). During this week, great news has been revealed to many local residents and college students alike: the Water Street bridge will be opened by back up by the start of the new school year. Here are a few things we thought were going to happen before the re-opening of the Water Street bridge.

1. Drake Bell would finally have a kid and name it "Taco".

2. Tupac would be found alive living in the basement of The Pickle.

3. Light up sneakers would make a comeback.

4. The UW-Eau Claire mascot would be changed from a Blugold to a squirrel.

5. Hoverboards.

6. The UWEC Class of 2016 would be having kids graduating from high school.

7. Chancellor Jim would appear on "The Voice".

8. The Vikings finally win a Super Bowl.

9. The Cubs finally win the World Series.

10. People don't talk about Harambe anymore.

11. Zombie Apocalypse.

12. LeBron James retires as a member of the Flint Tropics.

13. Eminem starts his bluegrass music career.

14. We find Carmen Sandiego.

15. One Direction gets back together.

16. The ending of "Inception" has been figured out.

17. Time travel is a thing.

18. Netflix carries all of the Disney movies. (Yes, all those ones that you have on VHS).

19. TV10 wins an Emmy Award.

20. Ashton Kutcher stops appearing in TV shows as "the young stupid guy". (That 70's Show, Dude, Where's My Car?, The Ranch, etc. We get it).

21. Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is President.

22. Zoey and Chase from Zoey 101 get married.

23. Wonder balls come back for good.

24. New York City stops getting attacked by evil villains in movies. (I can't be the only one that notices it's always NYC being attacked, right?)

25. The Hill has a ski lift to use during the winter.

As you get ready to head back to school, just rejoice at the fact that the Water Street bridge will be back in action for you to cross to head to your house or favorite establishment. You feel so happy right now that you could dance, don't you? Go ahead and dance. The bridge is back and traffic can finally flow again...until there is more construction elsewhere next year.

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.
