9 Reasons Why I'm Ready To Go Back To School
Liana "Lilo" Bustamante

August is here and that means...school is starting again!

Summer has been work-filled and very exciting with great memories, but I'm ready to go back to Stephens College, my second home. I'll be back there in about two weeks and here are just a few reasons I'm excited to go back.

1. I've missed my friends from school.

While some of my friends weren't as far away as others, I've been pretty busy working this summer. I'm excited to go back to school where I'll still work pretty often, but see them on an almost everyday basis on campus.

2. I've been excited about the classes I signed up for since I signed up for them.

Fingers crossed that I remember to turn in the paperwork to take that Spanish class at Miz. But hey, at least I get to take ASL this year -- WOOHOO!

3. New year, new room, new roommate!

Last year was awesome and I loved my room and roommate. However, I'm super excited for this coming year since I've had a year of knowing what life is like on campus!

4. Dorm decorating.

I've been contemplating how I want to express myself via my half of the room this coming year. I have so many posters and ideas on how to decorate and I just can't wait!

5. I'm an OGL this year!

So, an OGL is an Orientation Group Leader. I basically get to help welcome in the incoming freshmen and make their orientation as awesome as possible! I had one last year and I had a whole lot of fun during my orientation week. I also get to move in a week early with them!

6. School events all the time.

I've done some really awesome, fun things this summer like #TWRPhillyTakeover, but I have been working almost every day since June. I'm excited for different events on campus all the time whether it's a midnight breakfast during midterms/finals weeks or a Decorate-a-doorstop event.

7. Making late-night runs...

...to get food. I can leave my dorm and come back basically whenever without feeling bad that I'll wake my family up.

8. New school supplies and DIYs.

I already bought some new notebooks and I've been keeping up with my favorite YouTubers who are already posting their back to school DIYs.

9. Autumn is just around the corner!

Autumn is my favorite season because it's not too hot or cold. I also love the colors of the season and it just brings me the warm fuzzy feelies.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
