Currently, I'm a commuter to college, and it's not so bad once you get "used" to it. But, to be honest, it's exhausting. I have to wake at 5 am just to catch a 6:45 bus to reach my 9:30 am class. I reach campus at 7:30 and at that point I just need a good nap to be awake for class! But, one of the best perks coming early to college is picking the best spots to nap at! So here the 5 best napping spots at UMD. Trust me, I have done all five!

1. McKeldin Library

McKeldin is HUGE and has 7 floors. So, if you're feeling sleepy but want some quiet study space too, I recommend getting one the upper-level study spaces or maybe a bench! It's quiet and you won't be disturbed if you're napping or studying. PLUS, not many people are there so, you pretty much have the whole floor to yourself! Just don’t get too crazy!

2. Stamp Couches

I like napping at Stamp because my bus gets off there so I don't have to walk too far in the cold. Plus, FOOD! Stamp has a variety of fast food choices and sometimes food is the perfect pick-me-up after a nap and a couple of breakdowns. Hang in there! The semester is almost over!

3. Tawes Hall

You know that essay you wrote last night at like 2 am? Well, Tawes Hall is just the perfect place to get a quick power nap in the undergraduate lounge. It’s quiet, comfy pillows and you can get that essay checked at the Writing Center which is nearby! Just don't sleep through your appointment!

4. Knight Hall

As a journalism student, we have the luxury of having our lounge with some comfy couches. It's perfect since I have my first class there and space to do work too. There is also our "Off the record cafe" So if you didn't have breakfast, need a nap and need a place to write that story? Knight Hall is just the place!

5. WMUC radio station (Above south campus dining hall)

As a journalism student, I volunteer at WMUC college park radio station sometimes. I must say the vibe there is absolutely amazing. I really love just chilling and working on my script or homework. I can just tune in to the station and just chill. It has a creative energy and the couches are so comfy I can't help but take a nap. I usually just go into the back rooms and sleep there for a little while.

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.
