8 Sophomore Year Goals I'm Looking Forward To
Stocksnap

A new semester equals a new start. Setting new goals can help you reinvent yourself, as little or as big as you see fit. For me, I have set goals for myself, as you should too. Here are a few of the goals or other events that I am looking forward to this year.

1. Starting new classes in a new major.

This summer, I had a change of heart and changed my major. I am ready for the fresh start, and being able to do something I love. I am now a journalism major, and am excited to start improving my writing and content.

2. Being able to see my friends 24/7 again.

All summer, I never saw my friends. I really only have college friends left. Living with my best friend is an amazing experience. It's a sleepover party all the time. I love spending time with my friends, getting food, and just being overall those people who take up the whole sidewalk.

3. Having classes with my best friends.

This is the first semester that I have had classes with my whole gang. It awesome to be able to have others to rely on when you cannot find the answer, or just need a study buddy.

4. Sorority recruitment and anticipating all the new members.

Recruitment is an exciting and nervous time on both sides. This is my first year as a recruiter, and being able to be a voice on the next generation of my chapter is rewarding.

5. Getting closer with my sorority sisters.

I'm shy, reserved, and like to spend a lot of time in my bed. Last year, I didn't get to the house to hang out with my sisters as much as I would have hoped. This year, I live in the house and different sisters are over all the time.

6. Making an impact in my chapter.

I've always loved having a leadership position in whatever I'm doing. I'd love to continue doing the same thing year.

7. Themed parties and socials.

Themed parties and socials are the best. People stick with the theme so much and go all out. Toga is such a fun time!!

8. Getting better grades.

Spring was rough grade wise, after a great first semester. I want to get my grades back on track (AKA aiming for that 4.0!!!)

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.
