1. The school sends out an email telling students to stop walking on the grass, but we walk on it anyway.

The school sends out an email to use the crosswalk to Boulevard dorms, but we JWalk anyway. The school sends out an email to not play in the fountains, but we play in the fountains anyway. (We're just a bunch of Christian Studies majors rebelling and on the loose!)

2. We have such a small campus, yet we still complain about walking the 2 minutes to our classes.

3. When you become best friends with at least one of the Trojan Transit drivers.

4. When you FINALLY get to the top of Mount Merritt.

5. We all know Taco Tuesday is the best day out of the week!

6. When we are actually invited over to the P. Whitty's house, and we feel so honored and loved.

7. Because the school is so small, everyone practically knows everyone, and all your friends show southern hospitality. We're like one big, happy family.

8. All your professors are personable, encouraging, and want you to do well and succeed.

9. When you know the exact times the Chick-Fil-A line won't be wrapped around the building.

10. When you get a good grade on a really hard test and everyone swarms you with questions. (Okay, that's for all college students, not just Anderson.)

11. It's a campus-wide joke that our football team has been undefeated since 1911.

12. When a really good speaker comes to talk in a chapel.

13. When you're sitting on the white swings and someone of the opposite gender sits with you.

14. When you just sit back, relax, and think about how Anderson University is the best school ever.

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.
