If you are like me and work while going to college you know that sometimes you have to pull some long days and nights to get things done on time.

Sometimes you might be up for 48 hours straight and then sleep for 36 hours to make up for it. You might drink a lot of coffee or energy drinks to help you get through your insane days.

So here are some things that we know to be true while working through college!

1. Long days

Long Day

I wake up at 6 some mornings to get ready for my day and don't go to bed till after midnight! Most of the time I have long days like this though are actually the days that I'm not at work.


2. Caffeine

Coffee!

I only manage work and school with lots of Coffee

3. Being Busy

Busy

I'm often busy every day of the week from the time that I get up till the time I go to bed.

4. Planner is your best friend

Planner

Without my planner, I would miss a due date or two every semester because I can't remember every single due date off the top of my head.

5. Lack of sleep...

Lack of sleep

From staying up to get homework done or finish studying for an exam.

6. And then excessive sleep

Sleep

To make up for the lack of sleep that you had last night getting that 12-page paper done

7. Arriving at things smelling like work

Smell

Hi, guys, I'm here I just got off work so yes I smell like work.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.

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.

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.
