28 Things You Don't NEED To Pack For College, But Want To
SkyGate

As "Summer Seventeen" is coming to a close, it's time to get ready for the next chapter of our lives and one of the hardest ways to do so is by packing. Deciding what to bring and what not to bring is a constant struggle. And those things that you don't NEED to bring, but REALLY want to, will somehow make their way with you to college...

1. Your dog

2. Or cat

3. A coffeemaker

4. The guy at Starbucks who knows your name and makes your coffee in the morning

5. BAGELS... so many bagels

6. Every pair of leggings you own because you don't want them to get lonely

7. That tank top you haven't worn since that one time freshmen year

8. And the heels you wore to junior prom...

9. Might as well bring a nice dress

10. Or two

11. Or three

You can never have too many

12. An ironing board for those nice dresses

Wrinkled dresses are so not cute

13. Can't forget Mom

14. OK... If you're bringing Mom, might as well squeeze Dad in there too

Who knows what kind of bugs live out there?

15. Oh and Grandma's secret chocolate chip cookie recipe

16. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla, chocolate chips, and an oven

17. Fidget Spinners

18. A personal body guard

19. The 102 colored pencils set your aunt gave you for your ninth birthday

20. A toaster for avocado toast

21. Every single stuffed animal you've owned since you came out the womb

22. Speakers and strobe lights for a lit time

23. Your favorite Bath & Body Works Candle

24. And the matching scented hand soap

25. A Razor scooter for traveling across campus

26. Your own wifi router

So you won't have to deal with sucky wifi

27. The work of art you made in Kindergarten with an interpretation of your family

28. A life size cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber circa 2010

You just need somebody to love

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.

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.
