5 Things I Sincerely Miss About Charleston
Emma Looby

Returning home for the summer is always sweet because I live very far from CofC, so I'm not able to visit very often. While away at school, I miss drinking coffee in the morning with my mom, or working out with my sister, and going for Dairy Queen runs with my dad. During the summertime, I get to do all of these things plus catch up with my friends from high school. We reminisce about all the times together and freak out about how close we are to adulthood. Although I absolutely love doing all of these things, especially with all of these people, this summer, it is particularly hard not to miss Charleston. These are the things I miss the most about Charleston right now:

1. The food

Nothing compares to southern comfort food. Charleston has some of the most delicious food I've ever had and I am counting down the seconds until I can stuff my face again.

2. The sunshine

Charleston's sunshine has the power to lift anybody and everybody's mood. I have been daydreaming about it while I am stuck in 60-degree, rainy weather here in New Jersey.

3. My college friends

I cannot live without seeing these people's faces every day. Sorry. Nope. Not happening.

4. The beach

Do I even have to explain this? This is the most beautiful and relaxing place ever and I won't be back until August.

5. My new life

This sounds dramatic, but after living on my own for many months of the year, living under my parents' roof again can be frustrating at times. I have to readjust to life at home.

Charleston, I miss you so much. I'll be back soon, I promise. In the meantime, I'm going to spend some quality time with mom and dad.

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.
