You're here. You made it. There are only five days separating you and the freedom and relaxation that comes with break. So here are 9 things to look forward to that will help you get through the week without completely losing your mind.

1. You'll finally be back with your family and you'll be able to catch up face-to-face

Just don't ask if I have a boyfriend. Or what I want to do with my life.

2. Once you've gotten reacquainted with your family, you'll be able to see your friends

Get ready, because the squad will be back and better than ever. And we have a lot of catching up to do.

3. You'll finally be able to eat food from the outside world

And it will be delicious and I'll eat as much of it as I want, thank you very much.

4. You'll finally get to sleep in your own bed

And the naps will be amazing.

5. You'll finally be able to shower without shower shoes

This must be what living the good life feels like.

6. You'll finally be able to cuddle your pets

Because, let's be honest, we all know they're the ones we miss the most.

7. You'll finally be able to wake up without any alarms

What a wonderful, foreign feeling it will be to actually sleep in and not feel guilty about it.

8. You'll finally be able to have your own room

Having a roommate is great and all, but it will be nice to finally have a room all to yourself.

9. And you'll finally have free time to do as much, or as little, as you want

So hang in there. There are only a few more days until you can relax and leave the stress of college far behind.

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.
