As graduation approaches, everyone is making plans, applying to jobs, and packing up their apartments in Huntsville. Many Sam Houston State University students are leaving this semester, or planning on starting their last semester here to graduate in May 2017. Knowing this and knowing I am a part of this group, I could not help but to reflect on what has made my time here at this wonderful university so fun. Aside from the friends that has become family, the professors that help you through any rough patch, and a community that is so welcoming, what did I do here that made my time so memorable? So in honor of graduation and as a way to spend your last semester(s) at Sam Houston having the time of your life, I've made a bucket list. Try 'em all, you won't regret it!

1. Carve your name in Austin Hall to leave your mark on SHSU

2. Spend a Sunday with your best friends at all-day happy hour at Humps

3. Visit Demons Road if you dare

4. Have a beer and enjoy some karaoke at 12th Street Bar, this is by far my favorite find

5. Take a walk through campus at night, if you're lucky you can make it onto the football field

6. Take a random trip to Flow Style for $5.00 piercing night, it's better with a bigger group

7. Clean out your apartment and donate to the local SAAFE House

8. Enjoy a brunch at Toasted

9. Pop a Champagne bottle in the fountain on campus, but literally be in the fountain

10. Visit Black Jesus in Oakwood Cemetery

11. Get a random tattoo from FN Classy Tattoo for fun

12. Go hiking around the trails behind the dog park, there's creeks, woods, and cute photo opportunities

13. Make it on the infamous Old Row/TSM/TFM social networks, enjoy your five minutes of fame

14. Take a trip to Blue Lagoon for a day

15. Take senior photos at your favorite place (aka The Jolly Fox)

16. Last but not least, find your college BFF

Make these happen and you'll have memories of a lifetime to remember your time in good ole Huntsville, Texas. Enjoy!

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.
