8 Things You Absolutely Will Not Make It Through Finals Week Without
Odyssey

Finals are quickly approaching somehow. I feel as though we just started the semester and now we're on a downhill slope all the way to the finish line. I know you may feel stressed, exhausted, and broke - but have no fear, the end is near. Check out a few of the things the SMC Odyssey team absolutely needs to survive finals week. Hopefully our ideas will help you make it through too!

1. Coffee

...and more coffee. I'm not just talking one cup a day, keep them coming.

2. A Netflix account

Use your Netflix account appropriately: study breaks are okay, binge watching when you should be writing a paper are not.

3. Sleep

Never underestimate the importance of sleep! I know sometimes it's easy to stay up all night and power through, but sleep is just as important as food and water in this bleak week! Take a power nap during the day and wake up refreshed and ready to get more things done.

4. A cute animal

Whether it's your adorable pet kitten, or the cute puppies at the mall, playing with an animal is one of the greatest forms of stress relief. Honestly, even looking up cute puppy videos on Instagram works too.

5. Mood Spotify playlists


Whether you're into classical music, pump up jams, Christmas music, or today's hits...find what works for you and let it motivate you rather than distract you.

6. Comfy clothes

I'm a big fan of fuzzy socks, oversized sweatshirts, and leggings. Don't worry about your fashion this week - no one is going to judge you based on your appearance.

7. Snacks

Please give me all of the snacks. Healthy or not, it's great brain food.

8. Late night study sessions

Don't worry, you're not the only one grinding away into late hours of the nights. Hang in there and know that the end is near! You can do it!

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.
