50 Songs To Cure Your Post-Holiday Blues

Ah, the end of the holiday season. Your home is likely filled with New Year's party streamers and baked goods/leftovers from the holiday season. Although the return to normality and promise of New Year's Resolutions are underway, you're likely suffering from the post-holiday blues. While adults are returning back to work, students are heading back to school with the looming promise of a new semester ahead of them.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the New Year as an opportunity to further ingrain myself in the Elon community and truly come into my own. However, with this comes the responsibility of schoolwork, keeping up with my athletics, and beginning to establish my **professional** career that I have procrastinated thinking about until now. However, how am I supposed to do this without the perfect playlist to keep me going when I feel like I'm about to fall short?

DISCLAIMER: Some of these songs are explicit, so they may not be for everyone. Also, it is personally created by yours truly and likely will not conform to everyone's music taste. With that said, pick out the songs you like and start a playlist of your own!

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

StableDiffusion

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

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.
