In honor of the 13th anniversary of this movie, being released on May 2nd, 2003, I thought I'd relate our everyday college lives to the life of Lizzie McGuire during her totally idealistic experience in Rome. This movie influenced us young adults to be the divas we are today, so I believe we owe it some gratitude. Here are 13 ways The Lizzie McGuire Movie relates to our college life.

1. The Newfound Freedom

Lizzie arriving in Rome is a lot like moving to college for the first time. Being away from your parents, being able to do whatever you want, pretty empowering stuff.


2. Getting Ready for a Night Out

The infamous opening scene hits this spot on. Getting ready with your girls takes twice as long due to the impromptu sing offs. And yes, we do use hairbrushes for microphones.

3. Falling for the Hot Guy

You know what guy I’m talking about…the one who just tells you what you want to hear but sure looks good doing it.

4. When Your Song Comes on at a Party

The squad anthem brings out dance moves that didn’t exist until now.

5. Making a Bucket List for the Year

Don't tell me you and your roomie don't have a list of crazy things you want to do before the year is up...

6. Winter on Campus

When it's negative degrees outside but style is still a necessity...

7. Singing in the Car

This was the start to an iconic scene in this movie. We've all sounded like Paolo while trying to belt out Adele.

8. Trying to Adult

These lyrics are enough to describe most college students' thoughts. Fake it til you make it guys.


9. Acing that Exam

Coming out from an exam knowing you killed it...time to celebrate!

10. Getting Called on in Class

When you get called on to answer in class, but you spent last night watching Grey's instead of reading the chapter.

11. Skipping Class

*misses 8:00 AM* "I'm sick." *cough cough*

12. Being Behind on Work

Showing up on the first day of class just to find out you had reading for the summer...


13. Embarrassing Yourself in Front of Your Crush

Our awkwardness has gotten the best of us.

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.
