Dear Professors, I'm Sorry

Just some of the things I am truly sorry for.

Dear professors,

Forgive me, professors, for I have sinned. I apologize for not attending class on a regular basis and for coming in 15 minutes late with coffee in my hand when I did show up. Additionally, I apologize for showing up often hungover because of making the choice to go to Rounders and blackout the night before. It's not so much that I didn't care about your class because I actually really did, I just seemed to lack motivation for wanting to leave my bed and such an un-Godly hour of the day. Considering you posted your entire lecture on Blackboard I personally didn't find it to be a priority to rise from the dead unless it was a test or quiz day.

I want to also take this time to apologize for never submitting my assignments on time. In the beginning, I was still getting used to being on Central Time...not like that was really a valid excuse because then it would've been turning it in early, but that's not the point. The point is I have a bad habit of procrastinating and I truly apologize for it.

I'd also like to apologize for giving you the absolute wrong answer to the question you asked. I know you literally told me it less than two seconds ago. But I am literally half asleep, and I have a very short attention span. Truthfully I honestly forgot what class this even was. I promise if you ask me again in about five minutes after I google it once again, I will most likely, maybe, possibly give you an answer that is some-what correct. (I did say maybe)

But I do in fact appreciate you not only giving me full credit for turning in my paper 3 weeks late but even extra credit. Thank you for understanding that sometimes I had my friend bring my clicker to class for me in order to mark me here for attendance on the days I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. Lastly, thank you for putting up with my BS all semester. You truly deserve a medal for not only being able to handle me, but for allowing me to get away with everything I did... you are the true MVP!!

Sincerely,

The student who always showed up late with coffee

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.
