5 Things Oxford Desperately Needs

Oxford, Mississippi is arguably the best college town out there. From the old Southern charm of the square, to the blessings that is gas station barbecue, it is nearly perfect. I say nearly because Oxford, while being amazing place, is missing a few key things...

1. Target


Duh! This is a big one. Some people argue that Wal-Mart does the trick, but I heavily disagree. Target is the holy grail of all shopping... grocery, clothes, movies, it has it all. I miss being able to go into a target and find every single thing I could ever need, want, or desire under one roof. Not to mention that inside most Targets are a Pizza Hut and a Starbucks! I think all Oxford residents should petition to get a Target... even though my bank account disagrees.

2. Hobby Lobby or Michael's


With all the sorority girls in Oxford, how we don't have an art supply store is beyond me. Big-Little week would be so much easier if we didn't have to drive to a different state to get what we need in order to spoil our Littles. If that isn't enough of a reason the holidays definitely are. If you have walked in a Michael's or Hobby Lobby, you know Christmas is a year long event, and what could be better?

3. Chipotle



Ah, Chipoltle, how we all miss you when we come to Oxford. A Chipotle would be the perfect addition to Oxford's already great food selection. Think of how great it would be to hit up Chipotle on a Sunday afternoon! And yes, we know the guacamole is extra.


4. Sephora


This one is a necessity. While I love Wal-Mart's cosmetic selection and their prices, sometimes a girl just needs a little makeup retail therapy, and Sephora is the perfect place for that. Not only does Sephora have an amazing selection of makeup, skincare, and hair care, but they also have a makeup studio where Sephora professionals will do your makeup for you—perfect for formal!


5. Dave and Buster's


Come on... this one would be so fun. While everyone in Oxford loves a good weekend party, it would be awesome to be able to switch things up every once and a while, and Dave and Buster's would be the perfect place for that. Imagine having a swap at Dave and Buster's... Needless to say it would definitely be one for the books!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
