5 Reasons to Stay Calm During Finals Season
Kirsten Ocwieja

As we enter the month of May, all students know one thing to be true: Summer is near. As this is all so exciting, the dreaded time of finals is also upon us. Though it is a hard couple of weeks, here are eight reasons to remain calm during finals.

1. HOME!


There is no better place than home. The thought of being free from work while relaxing with your family and friends is one of the best feelings. In addition, being home means driving your car with all the windows down blasting moments.

2. Knowing Your Pet is SO Excited to See You

If you have a pet and are anything like me, seeing your dog is the most exciting thing ever. There is nothing better than summer days with your dogg-o.

3. Knowing You Will Not Have to Eat at the Dining Hall

There is nothing that students hate more than dining hall food, but remind yourself that pretty soon, you will have home made food and access to all of your favorite places in the blink of an eye.

4. Relaxing Time is Ahead

After all the stress of finals, remind yourself that in a few quick days, school will not overwhelm your life for the summer break. Lay in the sun, go for a walk...the possibilities are endless and none involve school work. Personally, I can not wait to attend so many Cubs games this summer!

5. Traveling

Although you might only be traveling to the library at this moment, if you do not have any trips planned right now...take the time over the summer to adventure! Visit friends from school, take vacations, study abroad, do whatever you can to make the most out of your glorious time ahead of you.G

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.
