Alarm clocks are a necessary evil in life. You can’t live with them, and you can’t live without them.

For college students, alarms are a must in order to make sure our sleep deprived, lazy selves get to class and everywhere else on time.

After hearing that repetitive noise day in and day out, you begin to develop some ill feelings toward your alarm clock. You even dream of ways to destroy and make it disappear forever.

We can’t help that we are grumpy and exhausted. We can’t help thinking crazy thoughts when our alarm clocks go off. It’s a love-hate relationship…majority hate, if we are being completely honest.

1. Is that my alarm or the end of the world?

Is that sound telling me to get up for class or run for my life?

2. How many times can I hit snooze before the clock breaks?

If I keep hitting the same button, will the clock just stop making noise?

3. If only there were more hours in the day just for sleep…

There needs to be scheduled nap times during the day for everyone. Then, I won’t want to throw my alarm clock against the wall.

4. What if I just buried the clock under a lot of pillows and blankets?

Maybe the sound will be softer if I bury the clock…

5. Whoever invented alarm clocks is INSANE.

Why did you have to invent this device? WHY?

6. This sound is worse than nails on a chalkboard.

This noise makes nails on a chalkboard sound wonderful.

7. I’m going to hear this sound in my SLEEP.


I can’t sleep at night. I hear my alarm even when it’s quiet.

8. Why do I always jump when it goes off?

I pop up like a pop tart in a toaster when I hear that noise.

9. Such an innocent noise is now associated with EVIL.

I cringe at that sound.

10. I’m going to have a heart attack from this stupid thing one day.


Keep an ambulance nearby.

11. What if I hit the clock over and over? The sound would magically stop forever.

Where is my hammer?

12. I dream of setting this gosh awful contraption on fire.

LIGHT IT UP.

13. It’s time to be honest with myself, I will forever need and loathe my alarm clock.

It’s the ugly truth. I will always need an alarm clock.

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.
