Midterms are finally coming to an end and it's time for most of us to head home for a few days and enjoy fall break. The stress of our heavy workload at school can come to a pause for a little bit, and we can enjoy some time home with friends and family. Here are five things you should make sure to do while you're home for fall break:

1. Spend time with family

This is the most important thing to me. I haven't been able to come home in two months or see any of my family, so looking forward to spending time with my family has been such a blessing. It is so important to let the stress of school and the crazy college lifestyle go for a little bit and take some time to relax with your family.

2. See your old friends

One of the best things about coming home for a little bit is getting to see all of your old friends from high school and your hometown. All my friends and I from my city have gone our separate ways and although we stay in touch, there is nothing like seeing each other in-person. After being apart for so long nothing feels better than reuniting.

3. Sleep in

I don't know about you but while I am at school I am never able to sleep in. During the week I have 8 and 9 a.m. classes and on the weekend I always have too much work to do to be able to sleep in. Fall break is the best time to catch up on sleep and be able to completely relax.

4. Catch up on Netflix

At school I never, ever have time to watch my favorite shows on Netflix or on TV because I am too busy studying and doing school work. With a few free days at home, I am making sure to relax and catch up on some of my favorites.

5. Get your life together

Honestly, I have heard so many people say they need to "get their lives together" during fall break. Sometimes we get so consumed in the same routine at school and keeping up with all of our school work that we forget to focus on anything else. For me, over fall break I need to take the time to look over possible internship options for next summer since I don't have much time to do so at school.

Make sure that wherever you are over fall break you make time for these five things, and enjoy your time off!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
