26 Things I Did Instead Of My Homework

Though it feels as if the semester has just only started, I have somehow already become buried in work and very behind. Every time a weekend comes up, I promise myself that I will finally get it together and catch up on everything so that the rest of the semester runs more smoothly. This weekend was another case of that. However, I have learned that this is almost always an empty promise to myself, and to prove it, here is a list of everything I did instead of study, on a Sunday night.

1. Finished watching Stranger Things on Netflix

2. Cleaned my room

3. Cleaned my entire apartment

4. Took a long shower

5. Cried about the drought

6. Called my mom

7. Annoyed my mom

8. Downloaded the entire discography of a band that I liked one song by

9. Went on wikipedia to learn everything about the band

10. Went on wikipedia to try and understand 2001: A Space Odyssey

11. Read multiple fan theories about the ending

12. Spent a while contemplating which one made the most sense

13. Spent a while getting angry at myself for letting it get this far

14. Vowed to make a change

15. Responded to some ~academic~ texts

16. Got distracted by Instagram

17. Ended up 142 weeks deep in a random girl's instagram

18. Got distracted by snapchat

19. Accidentally watched someone's story that I didn't want to

20. Got distracted by facebook

21. Threw my phone across the room because clearly I have no self control

22. Went to go make sure that I didn't damage my phone

23. Spent a while deciding what I wanted to listen to

24. Remembered that I downloaded the entire discography of that one band

25. Realized I only liked the one song I already had

26. Finally put on a good playlist and started to read

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.
