Why College Students Are Eager To Return To School

The Countdown Begins

Why College Students Are Eager To Return To School

I never thought I would ever say the words, “I can’t wait for school to start again.” But here I am, about three months into summer, and I’m actually excited to go back to school. Here are a few reasons why college students are eager to return to school.

1. We miss our college friends.

While summer means we get to go home and rekindle the friendships with people from our high school, we end up missing the friends we made in college. Especially if the friends we make live all the way on the other side of the country (or even out of the country). I know I personally can’t wait to be reunited with all of my college friends.

2. Being at home gets boring after awhile.

I am all for a relaxing, stress free summer. However, having nothing to do all day can get boring after awhile, especially because summers in college are so long. Even if you have a summer job, the days seem to drag on more than when you’re at school.

3. We miss the freedom of living independently.

After being on your own, living at your parent's house again can be difficult. You have to follow their rules and oblige to their early curfews. Not to mention, no more messy room or dirty dishes.

4. Football games.

Need I say more?

5. Taking classes YOU get to choose.

While there are a few GenEd classes that seem a little unnecessary, the majority of the classes you take in college relate to your major that YOU get to choose. Who knew that education could be interesting and make you excited to learn!

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.
