5 Thoughts Everyone Has The First Monday Back From Break
yahoo!

Waking up for class every day is hard. Waking up on a Monday is even harder, but nothing beats the struggle of the first Monday back after a break. No matter how many times you pressed snooze this morning, reality is still waiting for you with all the stress of assignments and exams you have put off studying for. Here are 5 thoughts we are all having on our first Monday back from break.

1. How many times can I press snooze before I am officially late for class?

That extra 5 minutes...okay 30 minutes of sleep just feels so good, but you will regret it when you roll up late to your 8 am looking like a hot mess.

2. Do I have any assignments due today?

The second you got out of your last class on Friday, all responsibilities flew out the window. It was just you, Netflix, and all of your favorite homemade meals for the rest of the week. Except, you actually did have an assignment due, and two quizzes online, oh and don't forget all the finals you forgot to study for!

3. How many more days until Christmas break?

Yes, I know we just got back from having a week off, but it is important for me to know that there are only 9 days and 47 minutes left till I am free again.

4. How badly can I do on my final without totally bombing the class?

Let's be honest, when it comes to finals we all go into panic mode, and considering we all put off studying for exams last week, it's justifiable.

5. I wonder if I can survive the rest of the week off the leftovers mom sent home with me.

We are all broke college students who would way rather spend our extra cash at the bars or on new clothes. It's been 3 years since you moved out, and you can barely boil water and you hate grocery shopping anyways. I'm sure you can make the leftover turkey last till Christmas break, right?

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.
