30 Thoughts About Going Back To College
The Huffington Post

Going back to campus for spring semester after winter break is a very strange experience. You were just home for weeks, but now you're going back to another home you have; your college home. One can experience a lot of emotions and one can think a lot of thoughts during this process. There's happiness from seeing friends again and sadness for leaving family. There's annoyance because you have to pack again and then a sense of calm because you know you are capable of traveling by yourself and finally becoming an adult. If you've been feeling all these things, then chances are that you've also had the following thoughts:

1. Man, I am sure going to miss this bed.

2. Can I just take all the food back with me?

3. I get to see all my new friends again!!

4. I'm going to miss all my old friends.

5. I sure won't miss doing chores again.

6. I think I forgot how to do laundry.

7. How am I going to get all these Christmas presents back in my carry on?

8. I sure will miss having a car.

9. I can't wait to be an adult again!

10. I'm really going to miss all this food.

11. I guess I'll have to go back to a routine schedule.

12. Do I really have to get up early again?

13. Why did I choose such early classes?

14. I need to remember my new year's resolutions at college.

15. There's no way I can keep up with these resolutions.

16. All I want to do is sleep for 14 hours again.

17. It's been nice not paying for anything. Thanks, Mom.

18. I need this break to be over already.

19. I can't believe this break is over already.

20. Does this mean I have to wear shower shoes again?

21. I'm not sure I'm ready to give up my own shower.

22. I really miss my roommate.

23. It's so weird waking up alone.

24. If I go back, can I still watch an unhealthy amount of Netflix?

25. I should really stop watching Netflix.

26. I'm not going to be able to sleep this much at college.

27. You know, sleeping in has become boring.

28. What if I go back and I've forgotten everything I learned?

29. My family is starting to get on my nerves.

30. Don't they realize I am an actual adult now?

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.

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.
