College As Told by Cats

For all the cat haters out there, one may look at this article and think that they might not want to read this. However, an article that is completely relevant to college students, with a few pictures of cats thrown in, what's not to love? There are just some things that all college students can relate to, and college students are basically cats. We're ornery, stubborn, lose focus quickly, and we like to sleep a lot. Hashtag college.

1. Freshman year when all the attractive people walk by… where have you been all my life?

2. When you don’t know how to create a schedule so you end up with class at 8 a.m.


3. When the dining hall has “surprise casserole” (yes, that has literally been a menu item before)

.

4. When someone who annoys you in class talks to you outside of class.


5. The first time that you hear a presentation on APA formatting.

6. The joy one experiences when the professor cancels class.


7. The despair one experiences when a research paper is assigned.


8. The daily struggle of walking to and from class around a gigantic (or not so much) campus.

9. When you’re so tired after staying up all night studying or finishing a project (looking at all the procrastinators out there) that you can’t even function.

10. The feeling when you binge eat Taco Bell or Waffle House.

11. When the people who live on your hall don’t know how to flush a toilet.





Even though there are some really unfortunate parts of college, it’s the best time of your life, and cats agree. So live it up. Be safe. Create some awesome memories. Join clubs. Make great friends. Eat amazing food. Experience new things. Go rafting, go hiking, watch movies, and just enjoy life. (Also get a cat because cats are life).

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.
