We have already been counting down the days for Winter Break and it's almost here. The few weeks between Thanksgiving and Winter Break seem to be the longest time of the year for us college students. Before we can enjoy the break, we have to go through hours of studying, pulling all-nighters, and finishing up our last few assignments. Winter Break just can’t come soon enough for us. There is no better thought of finally getting to go home, catching up on sleep, and enjoying the holiday season with your friends and family.

Here are 5 reasons college students look forward to Winter Break:

1. Going Home

Some of us didn't realize how much we would miss our home. There are some many things we can't wait to do once we get to go home. We will get to enjoy the pleasures sleeping in our own bed, showering without shower shoes, and, of course, enjoying time with our families

2. Seeing Friends From High School

Thanksgiving break barely gave enough time to catch up with our old high school friends. Winter break gives us a little over a month to do so.

3. No Classes

Stay in bed all day and watch Netflix, or go out and have some fun. Our schedule is empty so we can do whatever we please without having to go to class or work on any assignments.

4. Catching Up On Sleep

Winter break is the time to recharge ourselves, distress, and get ready to tackle the second semester. Catching up on sleep is the best way to do so. We have to make up for all of those all-nighters!

5. The Holidays

We are never to young to get excited about the holidays! It is, of course, one of the best seasons of the year.

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.
