In preparation for college move-in day, I spent months deciding what clothes, shoes, and dorm accessories to pack. Now with a full semester under my belt, there are certain items that are not necessary and are a waste of space. As a girl who loves her clothes and home decor, I understand the struggle of limiting your closet for the sake of saving space; however, here are 5 things you ladies can most definitely leave at home.

1. Heels

It is not necessary to bring more than one pair of heels to college. Yes, heels are necessary for formals and other special events, but it is a waste of closet space to have multiple pairs of heels you most likely will never wear.

2. Lots of kitchen appliances

During your freshmen year, you will not be doing a lot of cooking in your dorm (besides easy mac of course). Although you should have one set of utensils, having a lot of kitchen appliances is unnecessary (and you'll never want to wash them).

3. Mugs

Most college campuses have Starbucks or cafés. This means that you will most likely not be brewing coffee in your dorm and will have no need for multiple different mugs.

4. Excess school supplies

In college, most of your work is online. You won't need a lot of notebooks when everything is on your laptop.

5. Unnecessary dorm decor

Although it is important to make sure your space is personalized, there are certain things you will find to be a waste of space. Extra chairs, night stands, and small knick- knacks for your desk may be a nuisance. String lights, pictures, tapestries are cute and practical accessories that will not take up too much space.

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.
