5 Things I Would Rather Do Than Study for Finals

It is that time of year. As a freshman, I don't yet know how much it really sucks but I'm really not excited to find out. So, who wants to know a list of absolutely normal things that I would so much rather do than study for finals?

1. Listen to "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley on repeat until the end of time

I mean... are you really living life if you listen to anything other than Rick's wonderful serenading voice? Let's be real here, the answer is no. You are not living. So stop reading about the physics of whether or not a ball is going to get stopped going 9.8 m/sec, and go find the nearest record player and throw this song on until you go deaf.

For those of you not blessed enough to know this song, heres a link:

2) Watch people do the Harlem Shake

For those of you who do not know what that is... do you live under a rock? Well, I will explain anyways. It is a flash mob (people all doing something ridiculous) that starts at the drop of a song. It was somehow a thing for a few months and I still cannot get that f*cking song out of my head.

3) Stare at a wall

Literally, so entertaining. Does it really need an explanation?

4) Go to a Nickelback concert

Do they still perform? If so, do they pay me to watch them play?

And last but not least....

5) Listen to Ice JJ Fish give a speech while he dances

Now, some of you may not have ever heard this beautiful man speak, or dance. I don't even need to explain. Just watch.

Well... now that I have nothing else to procrastinate with, back to studying. Good luck friends.

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

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

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.

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.
