4 Things To Miss About LSU Over Winter Break
LSU

After spending 5 months in Baton Rouge, 1 week at home has already caused me to miss certain things about LSU. Here are some of the most prevalent things that students will miss if they left school for winter break:

1. The clock tower

In addition to ringing every hour, the clock tower also plays LSU’s Alma Mater at noon each day. This is one of my favorite LSU traditions because it never fails to uplift my mood. This tradition brings back fond memories of singing our Alma Mater at the end of each football game.

2. Coffee

As a college student, coffee is a must. It is so refreshing to live on a campus where there is literally a coffee shop on each corner. Whether it’s CC’s or Starbucks, LSU never fails to cater to the needs of students. Staying at home for the holidays feels weird when you have to drive ten minutes just for a latte.

3. Friends

There are no friends like the friends that you make in college. Unlike high school friends, you actually get to choose to be around these people. The friends made in college will likely follow you throughout all of the following stages in life. Home feels a bit less inviting without the people you have spent each day of the last semester with.

4. Sporting events

LSU is no stranger to large-scale sporting events. There is an unspoken unity and comradery between 100,000 fans that pack into Tiger Stadium on any given Saturday night. While home for winter break, many students would give anything for one more Louisiana Saturday night in Death Valley. I know that I would.

While I do miss LSU’s coffee, campus and traditions, I missed home even more. We will be back soon enough and then home will be missed again. But I know that when I return for next semester, I will no longer take these 5 things for granted.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
