Recently, one of my friends invited me to see the torture that was his physics class on campus. Being an advertising major and never touching any kind of science-related subjects, I thought it would be fun to take a trip down the high school curriculum memory lane — physics can't be that hard, right?

I was wrong.

15 things went through my mind while sitting in this class...

1. This woman sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger's mother.

This woman has a very thick German accent, but she certainly knows more about anything than I do concerning anything, ever.

2. Why is this guy on coolmath-games.com?

Actually, I don't have to ask that... I would've given up by now too.

3. Why is this guy watching the Masters?

Read number two.

4. Series Impedance:

Z(eq)=Z(1)+Z(2)

Do I know what the hell this means? No. Something about energy I think.

5. WHAT DO ALL OF THESE FORMULAS MEAN WHY AM I SO DUMB?

I'm not even in engineering and I'm stressed out about this.

6. Everyone in here looks so sad. Dead, even.

I bet half of these people have drinking problems.

7. I'm an advertising major and I couldn't sell the idea of this class being fun to anyone.

What makes it worse: the impending reality of not being able to find a job with a bachelor's degree.

8. Bruh, there are literally 787,000 equations.

I cannot reiterate how important it is to know each equation and how it relates to a different equation that you likely do not know. Do you think everyone in here actually knows this?

9. There is no student-to-teacher communication.

But on a serious note, this class requires zero interaction from the students for the instructor to teach. No wonder these people are sleeping.

10. In 5 years, all of these people will be making more money than I will.

That's the only silver lining I am observing in here.

11. I spy with my little eye...

A guy with some Forrest Gump running hair wearing Beats Studios not paying attention, a guy passed out beside his Monster energy drink, and hundreds of smartphones open on iMessage. Ahhhhh, education.

12. There's still 30 minutes left in this class?

I seriously just came here for jokes, but I'm ready to walk out like...

13. Everyone right now is totally looking at me because I don't belong here.

Yes, the row of sorority girls behind me overheard that I was an advertising major. I'll convince myself that they're laughing about something else. I mean they probably are, right?

14. All of these formulas are making me hungry.

I would kill for some chicken nuggets right now. Something about electricity and magnetism really gets your appetite going.

15. Thank God I don't have to do this every day.

Bless all of you that are engineers and have to understand these concepts. There's no way I could survive in this cruel, science-y world without you.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
