22 Activities For The Auburn Student Who Never Knows What To Do
auburn.edu

New year, same school right? Everyone knows that Auburn University is the loveliest village on the plains, but sometimes it's hard to decide what to do on a daily basis. Here are a few ideas...

1. Have a picnic on Samford lawn or throw the frisbee around in front of the most iconic Auburn building

You know you've always secretly wanted to do this. You see random people doing it all the time and it just looks so... Auburn.

2. Go hike at Chewacla

It's super cheap. It's super fun. It's a place to think and explore and see some ~NEATure~

3. Climb the fire tower in Tuskegee

Kind of dangerous. Kind of hard to find. But so so so so fun if you go with a group of friends.

4. Go on a bike ride on the Auburn bikes

They're free, and it's an easy way to get from one place to another looking v Auburn.

5. Try and attend a game/match/meet for every winter/spring Auburn team

I know we love our football, but people, gymnastics, track and field, tennis, softball, baseball, swimming and diving, equestrian, basketball and golf all have events going on between now and when school gets out for summer. Let's show some school pride!!! War Eagle!!!

6. Eat at every single Mexican restaurant in the Auburn/Opelika area

There has to be at least 10, right?

7. Buy an ice cream sandwich at Toomer's

8. Go bowling

9. Go skating

10. Spend sunset at the Red Barn

11. Go see a new movie

12. Shop downtown

13. Find a way to get to the Eagle's Nest on top of Haley

14. Actually talk to someone who is passing stuff out on the concourse

15. Ride around in your car with a group of friends and yell "Kiss her!!!!" at random couples walking home from downtown

16. Go to a UPC open mic night

17. Become an Über driver

18. Apply and get involved with an organization on campus

19. Dance with the sweet lady who plays music at the front of the Chick-fil-A line

20. Climb Foy

21. Yell "War Eagle!" at a tour of potential students

22. Spend more time studying this semester than you did last semester

See how many you can do before school get's out for the summer!! War Eagle!!

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.
