It's that time of year again when it's still summer but you're paying for textbooks, walking into class dripping in sweat, and drowning in syllabi. Before you know it school will be in full swing and you'll have never-ending work to do. As you set out to conquer each of your classes there's some thoughts that might run through your head as you walk through campus:

1. Wow. Look at the time. I am so going to be late for class. Maybe I should go get coffee. The professor so won't notice.


2. I am so hungry. I need to walk fast I cannot wait in a thirty minute line for a sandwich.


3. I didn't walk fast enough. My sandwich is moldy. Omg I'm going to be late for class again?

4. Did we have an assignment due? Did I do that...I guess I'll find out when I get to class.

5. I need to call my mom. I miss my dog. Crap, I left my laundry in the washer. I hope my clothes are okay.

6. How is she wearing a dress to class? I didn't even brush my hair. I hope people didn't notice the piece of lettuce stuck in my teeth.

7. It's only Monday. That just means four more days until the weekend. I can totally do this.

8. Was I supposed to meet with them for lunch today? Guess I'll try again tomorrow...

9. I really hope I locked the door at the apartment... I think I did...

10. Why is it so hot? It's only the 2nd week of school. I can't do this. Totally just going to travel.

11. I forgot... I am way too broke to travel.

12. I. Need. Coffee.

13. Why am I the only one that doesn't have my life together?

14. I totally just lost my planner... what classroom was I in last?

15. Okay well at least I'm not wearing pajamas to class.

16. When can I go back to preschool?

17. I just want to go sleep... guess I'll have to wait until December for that.

18. It'd be really nice if the WiFi could for ten seconds so I could post this.

19. When is graduation again? I can't handle one more assignment.

20. I don't understand how everyone else does it... or do they?

21. Should I switch majors? Am I even doing the right thing with my life? I heard doctors make a lot of money...

22. I'm just going to call my mom and cry.

Good luck to all with a great school year that is hopefully less dramatic than this list!!

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.
