27 Thoughts Every Senior Has The Last Night Before Classes

The first day of classes is unique. The day before than, is even more so. Even the freest of spirits live according to some kind of routine, and when classes start, with it begins an entirely new routine. For myself, tomorrow is the first day of my senior year. That's pretty intense. Most incoming seniors can agree, this is a crazy time for us.

Here are 27 thoughts every senior has the night before the first day of classes:

1. I'm so ready for something new. I'm ready for classes. This will be great.

2. I'm so unprepared!

3. Who even cares, I'm almost done.

4. I should go to bed early.

5. That definitely won't happen.

6. I just want to graduate. I need to be done.

7. I'M SO OLD. HOW CAN THIS BE THE END? I'M NOT READY.

8. One year from now I need a real job. Like, to support myself.

9. Nahhh, by then my first single will drop and I'll be fine. (nervous laughter)

10. Maybe I should go to grad school?

11. But for what? I didn't even think I'd make it this far.

12. Let's be real, I'm over school.

13. (researches grad schools for an hour)

14. Shoot, I have CLASS tomorrow.

15. What should I wear?

16. I don't even know where my classes are. I should look that up. (doesn't)

17. I definitely need to go to bed soon. Gotta keep up appearances.

18. I'm so elderly and knowledgable, and I have such a wealth of knowledge to share.

19. I'm just a kid! I can't even buy my own food, much less make a resume, or file taxes, or live alone. Please don't make me.

20. It's so late. I need to go to bed.

21. HEYYYYYYYYYY (enter name here) HOW WAS YOUR SUMMERRR???!!

22. Will my professor notice if I miss the first day?

23. I'm too old for this.

24. Please college, never end, I don't even know what I want to be yet.

25. What if I don't know anyone in my classes?

26. Pshhhhh of course I will. (right? I should, you'd think.) (secretly terrified.)

27. I need to go to bed. Please wake up in time for class.


Well, I don't know if everyone can relate to these. But these are my current thoughts as I sit here, preparing for the day ahead. Once I wake up tomorrow, a new life will begin. A daily rigid schedule of classes, work, sports and sleep (and fingers crossed, an actual life somewhere in there). This past summer was magical. I final summer of freedom and carefree living. Next summer will change things and that's okay. First, I need to get through senior year. Goodnight people, gotta get my learn on.

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.
