5 Emotions College Seniors Feel During Their Last Spring Break

If the weather is anything less than perfect, I will lose my mind.

It is officially going to be my last spring break as a college senior in less than a week.

I will be the first to admit that it is a rough reality to accept. No more guaranteed breaks from work and stress. No more trips or fun activities with friends or family. No more putting my life on hold for a week because I can, so I will.

I know that I am not the only one feeling the reality sink in as spring break approaches, though. So, here’s to all my fellow college seniors who may or may not have realized that they are starting their last spring break, and are feeling the following five emotions that come with it.

1. Panic

Will we ever experience another break again? Will we ever be able to spend extended time relaxing with our friends somewhere warm, whether on a vacation or in our own backyards? Since when did we become adults with responsibilities?

2. Disbelief

Did we not just finish spring break during our freshman year? I swear that it is only my second semester of college and I do not have to have my future planned out. Simpler times …

3. Dread

It is officially our last spring break or vacation as students. From here on out, we may have vacation days, but there is no guarantee that they will be consistent. Also, we will never again experience the relief when midterms are over and we can head home.

4. Nervous

If the weather is anything less than perfect, I will lose my mind. I need spring break more than anything else in the world right now. Everything has to go according to plan.

5. Excited

Even though it’s the beginning of the end, there is still plenty to look forward to. After all, I have never done a spring break trip with a friend, so this time next week, I’ll be living the dream with my roommate in Punta Cana.

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.
