Why We Can't Wait For Fall To Start

Let's face it, we're counting down the days.

Why We Can't Wait For Fall To Start

1. Being reunited with your people.

When we say bye to our friends for the summer, we "promise that we'll come visit when we have time off!" But that rarely happens. Summer flies by and you don't realize that you don't have much free time. And if you're lucky enough to actually see your long distance friends, the short amount of time that you do have is never enough. I know I cannot wait to tackle my roommate the second I set foot in my apartment.

2. Getting back into the swing of things.

It's nice to have an idea of what your week is going to look like. You make plans yourself now. No more mom and dad dropping plans on you at the last minute, ruining previous plans you had made. Having a routine is good. Having your priorities set is good.

3. Actually being excited for some of your classes.

Whether it be a class that you're taking with your best friend, or a class with what seems to be an awesome professor, it's always best to actually enjoy what you're studying. General education classes usually suck, but I'm excited for my core classes that actually have to do with my major. For those of you who call me a nerd...well...

4. College football.

Tailgating. That is all.

5. Starting new experiences.

Some of us are rushing. Some of us are starting new jobs. Some of us just want to be reunited with our best friends. No matter what it is that we're looking forward to, most of us are just counting down the days until we're back in our college town this upcoming fall.

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 ā€” 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.
