Being A Republican in a Liberal School.

We are all a little different.

So, you are a Republican at a Democratic university?

Me too. Is it all that bad? Not really. Unless you are so into politics that hearing your friends talk about Hillary Clinton or whoever makes your head pop off. As a Republican who isn't a huge fan of politics and hearing the other side of the political world on a day to day basis, it honestly doesn't phase me. Sure, my roommate is a hardcore Hillary fan and she can be. It is her own right.

I don't judge people by believing in someone that I don't see fit for presidency. For all I know they feel the same way about my nominee. We were separated for a reason. I enjoy staying on the sidelines and letting other people banter and bicker about it. I don't fancy the whole 'you're wrong, I'm right' thing. It's redundant. We keep saying that too each other, but who really is right?

I grew up Republican, baptist, and in the south. It was in my roots from the very beginning. I signed that voter registration card as Republican and I knew what I was getting myself into when I set foot on a liberal campus. People were saying: 'Oh you like Donald Trump don't you?' to 'I bet Ronald Reagan was your favorite president.' Guess what? I didn't tell them. I wasn't going to their bantering level. I stay out of it the best I can.

You couldn't pay me enough to be a political science major. I'll stay over here in my accounting corner and go on with my day (we aren't the greatest either).

If you are someone who loves politics and could make a living out of it, good for you. If you have a good platform and I believe in you, sure, I'll vote for you. If you are acing your political science classes then have at it. You enjoy it, keep going. I'd never bash someone in politics because they are doing something that I would never do.

Therefore, cheers to you Political Science majors for sticking your neck out there and being that low percent that enjoys politics. Glad I'm not one of ya.

Cheers to the people staying out of the way and enjoying it. I'm right there with you. The other side isn't that bad after all.

Sincerely yours,

Your Future Accountant

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.
