3 Quotes To Get You Through Finals Week

The time has come: FINALS WEEK.

Along with finals week: libraries stay open 24/7, coffee spills are at an all-time high, papers are written, highlighters lose their color, papers get accidentally shredded, we all lose our numbers allowed to print, our pens lose ink, our professors don't understand we have five other classes, our parents send us care packages, and the list goes on. What my goal here is to give you three quotes to brighten up your finals week! And if you aren't participating in finals week, may these quotes get you through the day or week. Teaser: All of these quotes are somewhere in my dorm room… Side note: I LOVE QUOTES!!!

·"Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself"

oThis quote is hanging near my bedside for me to wake up to every morning and read it, essentially serving its purpose for my trying to live by that quote every single day.

·“The courage to be great lies deep within each of us”

oThis is actually a fortune cookie from Golden Wok in Pittsburgh from my first time there with some friends after a late night. This fortune lets us know that if we truly believe in ourselves, we can achieve greatness.

·“Keep your eyes on the stars and keep your feet on the ground”

oThis quote is laying right above my head to remind me to stay grounded, but always stay focused on my dreams.

God bless anyone who does not have to experience the stress of final exams and congratulations to all those people who safely got through finals week, whether you did it this year or five years ago.

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.
