Reasons I'm Ready To Be Back At School
Molly Sue Harmon

The day has come. It's time to go back to school. Boy, I am PUMPED. I'm so ready to move in for so many reasons.

1. Friends

I'm SO EXCITED to see all my friends again. I'm ready for some late night Cook Out runs and Walmart trips. I can't wait to have study sessions and to goof off around campus. I've met some of the greatest people at my school. They have changed me, challenged me, supported me and most importantly, they've loved me for who I am. I am eternally thankful for all of them.

2. Classes

Yes, that's right. I am excited for classes. While yes, the work load can be a lot. It's stressful at times and comes with a lot of hard work; but I love learning. I love the feeling I get when I take a test and do well and know that I'm retaining information. I love my major and I'm excited to get back into the swing of things.

3. Dancing

This summer I didn't get the chance to dance very often because I was a camp counselor. So, I'm so excited to get back to my dance classes and to be back with dance team. I can't wait to be able to go to the dance studio at a random time, turn off the lights, put on some music, dance to whatever I feel like and not care if anyone is watching.

4. Independence

Don't get me wrong. I love my parents and I love being home. But there is something about being able to tell myself when I should be in bed and deciding if I want applesauce, brownies or my leftover Cook Out for breakfast. I enjoy getting to make my own decisions and learn how to be responsible for myself. College gives you a good place to be able to make decisions and take risks, but still in the security of knowing you can call your parents and ask for help.

5. Meeting new people

I LOVE meeting new people and making new friends. A new year of school means a new group of people to meet. I'm excited to see what the new freshman class brings and the transfer students, too!


So, bring it on, Catawba. I'm ready for another year of living and loving with ya.

xoxo

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.
