College is really nothing more than trying to be successful while often making poor decisions.

Well, for me anyway. Here are some of the lies we college kids have to tell ourselves every once in a while so we keep on feeling like successful human beings :-)

1. I am not waiting until the night before my essay is due to write it.

Sigh....every. single. time.

2. I failed my test, but I'm totalllly getting a 100 on the next one.

So since I got a 60 on this one, if I get a 100 on the next one I'll have an 80 test average and you can totally get an A in a class with a B test average! Always works, right?!

3. It's perfectly normal to eat fast food almost every day.

I mean, is Chipotle even fast food? And Chick-Fil-A can't be that bad for you. Plus, Starbucks fraps are basically just coffee.

4. I'm going to cook so much cool food in my apartment!

....pasta. Always just pasta.

5. Coffee is like, suuuuper healthy.

So many like, antioxidants or something. One cup is like equal to an hour of yoga I heard.

6. I am NOT drunk!!!

I know I just fell down in the middle of the street and took six tequila shots, but TRUUST me have never been so sober in my life. I don't even feel it yet! *starts to cry over middle school boyfriend*

7. Even though I haven't studied, I'll do better if I just go to bed right now.

If my head is clear and I get a full 8 hours in, I'll do better than actually learning the material won't I?!

8. Just one more episode and then I'll fall asleep right away.

One episode of my favorite show very rarely happens. Or the old, I'll just turn it off at __ o'clock. Nope

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.
