25 Thoughts I Have Had While on Winter Break
The Leaf Chronicle

When you're on winter break, a million random thoughts can run through your head. Whether you're stuck in a dorm, at home, or at work, your mind can wander off like a bear into the woods, because on winter break, there's nothing to do. You are bored most of the time, and you're just sitting there on your phone, laughing at memes, which there is no shame in because I am pretty sure that everyone does it. Here are some of the zillions of thoughts I have had since winter break has started.

1. I wonder what my college family is doing.

2. What if dogs spoke whatever language their owners did?

3. How did I ever survive in this small town?

4. I wonder what everyone got for Christmas.

5. For once, I can not find anything interesting on Netflix.

6. Or Hulu.

7. Or YouTube.

8. Oh my gosh, I know who will love this meme. *tags 15 people on Facebook*

9. What to do, what to do.

10. Maybe I can find something to read.

11. *finishes book in a couple of hours* Okay, now what?

12. Okay, maybe I should start looking at what I need for next semester.

13. Who's got 'buy three books for one class' money?

14. Okay, let's see what *insert name* is up to. Okay, they're busy, never mind.

15. Time for another book.

16. Let's see if there's any Pokemon nearby. Okay, there isn't.

17. What do dogs think about?

18. Maybe I should go for a drive.

19. *drives around for 15 minutes* Okay, I've seen that road before. And that man.

20. *comes home* What's for dinner?

21. Have I eaten today? Oh my gosh, I forgot to eat.

22. I HAD ALL THIS TIME AND I FORGOT TO EAT.

23. Yum, food.

24. All is well; I am fed.

25. What to do, what to do.

So, all in all, you can tell my winter break is pretty exciting. There's food, nothing to do, and books. But overall, it is a nice break from the stress of school.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
