Coming Home For Winter Break As Told By Spongebob

The folks down in Bikini Bottom really get what it's like

Coming Home For Winter Break As Told By Spongebob

With the first semester of my junior year in college coming to a close, I've realized a few things. The main realization is to never leave long papers until the last minute; it'll save some sanity to start those early on. However, as I relaxed on the couch watching TV one night, I came to the conclusion that there are lots of Spongebob Squarepants GIFs that accurately describe and capture what it's like coming home for winter break.

1. The freedom to eat what I want when I want

Don't get me wrong; I can eat while I'm at school. But those meals are on a schedule, and sometimes my classes interfere with that schedule. Also, there's no guarantee I'll even like what's on the menu some days. When I'm home, at least I know I like the food. Plus, I can grab a snack whenever.

2. Sleep can be my best friend again

Being home means never needing to set an alarm for class for the next few beautiful weeks. I can sleep as long as I want and never worry about being late for anything.

3. More chances to see my friends

I know, I know; I talk about my friends from my first college a lot. But that's only because I love them so darn much! Thanksgiving break meant spending a whole day with them (after showing up unannounced of course) and having the best Friendsgiving ever. Now that I'll be home for about a month, I can only imagine all the other opportunities we'll have to hang out!

4. Hanging out with family

I'm not sure about the rest of y'all, but I love seeing my family when I come home. For me it means the opportunity to catch up on what's been going on in their lives. And, honestly, that's something that means a whole lot to me now that I don't technically live at home anymore.

5. Christmas!!

Whether it be Secret Santa events with friends, getting fancy overpriced holiday Starbucks drinks with more friends, or dinner at my grandparents' house - I freaking love Christmas time. And being home for break means getting to do all my favorite Christmas things with all my favorite people!

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.
