7 Thoughts Everyone Has During the First Week of School

Let's just say that getting into the groove of things is definitely a process.

7 Thoughts Everyone Has During the First Week of School

Spring Break was sweet but way too short. With just enough time to recuperate from finals (or midterms) from before break and get a taste of what a week free of schoolwork feels likes, the feels are just way too real once school starts up again. Here’s a list of a student's typical thought processes during the first week of school.

1. Keeping up with readings

No way am I going to put off all my readings until finals week like last time...or at least that's what you'll tell yourself.

2. Staying healthy

New quarter, new me! I'm going to the gym everyday and only eating locally grown, organic foods!!! I mean, look how happy they look. It's like Elle Woods says "Exercise gives you endorphins.Endorphins make you happy."

3. Why am I tired?

Literally why? I've done nothing, NOTHING all week and we JUST ended break. Is it too early in the quarter to nap, because I think that that's gonna have to happen sometime in my near future.

4. "It's only syllabus week"

Week 1 = turn up, right?

5. Focusing on your beauty rest

I'm getting a MINIMUM of 8 hours a night, folks, no question about it.

6. Seriously consider dropping out of school

For all we know I could be the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg...or I guess ending up selling oranges by the side of the freeway is a potential outcome too.

I couldn't find a good picture so let's just enjoy these nuggets instead.

7. I should be at the beach

I'm spending too much on tuition to not be spending my days on the beach. Admit it, we've all been there. Good news is, it's finally Spring, which means the beach will always be there for us!

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.
