Christmas for College Students as Told By Disney
Odyssey

Ah, Christmas break. There's nothing like a refreshing few weeks with your family! Here is Christmas break, told by Disney.

1. NO MORE FINALS!

Okay, I guess this does mean that we are going to have to face our grades soon, but it's better than staying in the library way past a semi-acceptable time. No studying for a few weeks? I'll take it.

2. But...but...our friends?

What do you mean we don't get to walk down the hallway and see our friends? You mean some of them are a plane ride away? What if I have a life crisis? Right. That's why Facetime was invented. Obviously.

3. Ah, finally get to see my family!

Yes, my family. But...mostly my dog. I will be spending as much time as I possibly can with my dog.

4. There's so much FOOD.

I'm definitely not used to cooking my own food anymore and it is a slight pain to have to. But there's food all over the house! I don't have to walk in the freezing cold snow if I want lunch! A break from massed produced food is always a plus.

5. Did I lock my dorm room door...?

Wait...did I lock my door? Did I turn off the Christmas lights? Did I close the window? If I haven't gotten an angry email from the college, does that mean that I did everything right and I'm not going to have to barter my life to pay a fine? Probably not, but I'm going to go with it.

6. I haven't started Christmas shopping.

Right. Christmas shopping is a thing. Think my family would buy the excuse that I didn't have time to go shopping? But there's Amazon. So that's not going to work.

7. What do I want for Christmas? Practical things.

Remember when you were mad to get underwear for Christmas? Not anymore. Bring on the practical stuff! Pots and pans? Please! Food in general? You know me so well.

8. High school friends!

WOW WOW WOW I missed all of you! Tell me about your life, tell me about college, your classes, your new friends, the crazy parties you've been to! I want to know every little tiny detail about your new life. I want to know everything! I've missed you so dang much.

9. Wait...what's that? A billing statement?

College, let me explain something to you. Getting an email about how much money I owe you for the last semester is not my idea of fun. In fact, it really sucks. I'm attempting to spend time with my family and ignore the fact that I have college loans looming over my head for the next four years.

10. Man, I miss my campus.

I never thought I'd miss food from the Caf, studying all night, and being around people all the time. But, I miss it like crazy and I can't wait to go back. Wow.

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.
