8 Things You'll Only Understand If You Go To Alabama
Taylor Coffey

Home of 16 national championships and the greatest college to exist, The University of Alabama is completely unique and unbelievably excellent. As much as one wants to think they could get the hang of this college life because they are or have attended a different institution... you can't. However, you can try and I'm going to try and help you out!

Here are 8 things only a UA student would understand.

1. ACT card

This is your lifeline here. Never let it out of your sight.

2. Running out of dining dollars on said ACT card

The gloriousness of Starbucks and Panda Express are too good to resist.

3. The Ferg

The food. The proximity. The entertainment. 10/10 recommend.

4. Supe Store

Not only does it have cute gameday apparel, but it also has everything you could need for classes! Conveniently, it's located next to Starbucks and in the Ferg.

5. The Quad

Need to orient yourself? Make your way to the quad. It's the heart of campus.

6. 4th Quarter

Play for four, stay for four. Amirite or amirite?

7. Rounders/The Strip

These go hand in hand as Rounders makes the strip! Best bar around so they say.

8. B. Phils

THEY TAKE DINING DOLLARS. B. Phils, you're doing amazing sweetie.

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.
