What You Need To Know About Christmas Coffeehouse

Twice a year, Liberty University has a spectacular thing called, "Coffeehouse." Coffeehouse is not a place to drink coffee and enjoy each other's company. It's a production that is held together by the student body and their ability to act, sing and have fun. I mean, we think it's all fun and games until...well, you'll see.

Now, before you're thinking that we're crazy, just hear me out on the W's:

Who is involved in LU Coffeehouse? The STUDENTS! We've got the tall and thin ones like Buddy! Or even the short and stubby ones like Scrooge! (But don't be a Scrooge - he's not the best person to be, especially atChristmas time.)

What is involved in LU Coffeehouse? Everything BUT coffee! Just countless hours of practice...Countless moments of tears...Countless minutes of "Why me?"...and more than a few moments of panicking after the statement of "I just broke a guitar string." Maybe also countless weeks of "I HAVE TO PERFORM SOON!"

When is LU Coffeehouse? The first day of finals, which is December 11th. Call me crazy, but staying up at 11:30 p.m. sounds awesome. Why? You have a reason to be out past curfew. Beats me, but being out past curfew is kind of nice...

Where is LU Coffeehouse? It's at the Vines Center. Where else would 15,000 students sit? I mean, there's always Thomas Roa - nah! Not at all! You'll see that even this Vines Center is sold out!

How is LU Coffeehouse fun? Because its the first day of finals - you need a way to relieve stress!


How else is LU Coffeehouse fun? It shows the sides of people you never knew. One can recall the countless times where you did not know that a certain person had that talent! You kind of wonder when their talent will be revealed then you come to Coffeehouse and BAM! There that person is singing to the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer..."

In other words, LU Coffeehouse is a great excuse to be out past curfew, spend time with friends, sing carols with friends, and maybe, bring out your inner elf or Santa.

I for one know that I happen to be the elf in this situation...

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

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.
