5 Things I Miss From High School
Kaitlyn Craig

People in high school can't wait to get out and go to college. People in college wish they could be back in high school. I wish I could go back and relive my high school. There are too many things I miss!!

1. Colorguard/Winterguard

Colorguard and Winterguard were an escape for me in high school. No matter how much homework I had or how busy I was, I could always just go to practice and not worry about anything. Colorguard/Winterguard is not like any other sport. It is a team effort but at the same time it is also individual effort. Colorguard and Winterguard are more than teams; they are family. You spend so many hours and days together that you become brothers and sisters. Many disciplines in Colorguard and Winterguard you will not learn anywhere else. I miss Colorguard and Winterguard!

2. Having A Core Group of Friends

In high school everyone has their core group of friends. The friends you have classes with, meet in between classes, eat lunch together, meet up after school, hang out, and go to all the football games with. Some of the groups might get smaller and some might completely fall apart. You never know how much those people mean to you until they are gone. I miss having that core group of friends I can see everyday and count on. In the span of four years people change and it's not easier when you go off to college.

3. Having The Same Schedule Everyday

Life was so much simpler when you had a set schedule every single day, people told you where to go and your teachers reminded you of your homework everyday. Yes, college gives you a lot more freedom but with that freedom comes great responsibility. I wish life was like high school.

4. Football Games

Being in the band meant going to every single football game. Now, I never watched the actual game but the atmosphere was so much fun! Everyone was so excited and ready for the game that nobody was worrying about the four page essay due that next Monday, or how busy life gets. The atmosphere of football games are indescribable.

5. Band Trips

Not only was preforming in front of people the best part of band, but the band trips were too. If it weren't for band I would have never been anywhere in the United States. The trips made so many memories. Not only did we get to perform on a big football field or play on a new stage, we also got to discover the cities we went to. Being in band puts new and different perspectives on things.

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.
