5 Of The Most Common Controversial Topics
We Are Web

Everyday, somewhere in the world there is a conversation about one of these five topics. Whether you are driving with your friends and suddenly the topic comes up, or you are watching television with your roommates, everyone feels strongly about one or the other. Whichever way you choose to go, you defend it to the ends of the Earth. On campus, these are some of our more controversial topics daily.

1. Sheetz or Wawa

Coming from a school that is predominantly brings in tri-state students, this is an important debate. Sheetz may be known for their fried food goodness, but Wawa has sandwiches to make your mouth water.

2. Clicker or Remote


Do you really want to be reminded of your classes while you're sitting down watching TV? Back in the day, you called it a clicker because you never knew about iClicker. However, now your roommate asks you for a remote. What is that?

3. Android or Apple

Android phones definitely are not crashing from this iOS10 update like everyone's current iPhones. But Android doesn't have Find My Friends so how are you supposed to know what frats everyone is at? You either love Apple or love PC. PC lovers stick to their Androids, and Apple lovers stick to their iPhones.

4. Skippy of Jif

This is more of a family based question. Whatever your parents eat, you probably eat too. So most likely, whichever you choose it is not your fault. However, whichever you choose you're going to be made fun of equally.

5. Pepsi or Coke

We are a Pepsi school, but that does not stop people from taking a trip to the store for Coca-Cola. Most people have a preference of their soda. However, when planning for a pregame and deciding to pay the extra money on brand name products, Pepsi vs. Coke is the biggest debate of the night.

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.

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.
