Spring break is now long gone and college students across the nation are getting hit hard by the mid-semester slump. With only a handful of weeks until summer break, everyone is crashing and no one wants to make the time to study. The procrastination sets in and it seems like the pile of schoolwork is only getting higher and higher. Whether it is checking Instagram, making food or calling your mom, we all procrastinate our studying at some point or another. Here are the 10 things we all do to procrastinate studying.

1. Watch Netflix

Binge watching Grey's Anatomy counts as studying for my Chem midterm, right?

2. Stalk Social Media

Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter. Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter. (The cycle can go on for hours)

3. Clean Our Rooms

There have been many times where I have deep cleaned my room just to put off the hours of studying ahead of me.

4. Make Food

Nothing like a late night snack to motivate you to study.

5. Online Shop

A new pair of leggings will make me work so much harder on my next Art History midterm.

6. Make Lists

Because I need to make extensive lists of what I have to study for before actually studying.

7. Call Your Family

Why yes Mom I am getting lots of studying done.

8. Plan Your Weekend

Making exciting plans for the weekend will definitely make me want to write this Literature paper due Friday at midnight.

9. Run Errands

Putting off studying to make a target run.

10. Study For Another Class

We've all done it, work on homework for another class even though you really need to study for your Econ test that is at 8 am tomorrow.

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.

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.
