Confessions Of A College Aged Homebody

I love where I go to school. I love all my friends, I love the sorority I am in, I love the culture and I love having a good time. However, I am, and always will be a homebody.

home·bod·y

ˈhōmˌbädē/

noun

noun: homebody; plural noun: homebodies

a person who likes to stay at home, especially one who is perceived as unadventurous.


While I wouldn’t necessarily call myself “unadventurous”, I would definitely describe myself as perhaps more ‘tame’ than the average college student. Does that mean I am a party pooper? No. Does it mean I judge people who go out all the time? No. As hard as it may be for many of you to believe, I actually enjoy my alone time in my apartment, it is what keeps me sane. Don’t quite get the whole ‘homebody’ thing? Let me help you.

Yes, the FOMO is real, but not as real as FOPORP (Fear of putting on real pants)

I probably spend more time in my bed than the average 20-something, but who said that was a bad thing?

I would rather spend my Saturday cleaning up around my apartment than doing pretty much anything else.


I subscribe to ( and actively use) more than one online streaming website.


Paying for delivery charge > going out in public to get food.

Once I walk through my door on Friday afternoon, it is pretty much impossible to get me to go back out.

I am always the go to DD. And that's actually pretty rewarding.

When I do go out, I actually enjoy it, because I'm not burnt out on it.


I admit to eating one or two meals in my bed...

I like and desperately need my 'me' time.

I have definitely made up excuses to avoid going out.



I am not afraid of being left alone with myself and my thoughts.


Why put on makeup when I could put on Netflix, am I right?

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.
