giphy.comEveryone knows that college kids have it rough. I decided to provide a brief outline of a typical day of a college student.

7:30...Alarm one goes off, groan, roll over, and turn it off

7:45...Alarm two goes off and you question if you really need a degree. Answer is yes you do but you hit snooze anyway

8:00...Alarm three goes off...throw some outfit on with a hat and go for the sporty look...still wondering if it's too late to drop out and be a flight attendant

9:00...Breakfast! Oh eggs! And toast! And that extra large coffee that tastes terrible but you need caffeine so you drink it anyway.

9:30...History class...This does not pertain to my major so why am I here? I wonder if flight attendants get good benefits?

10:30...Yay! Freedom and another coffee is needed!

11:30...Lunch time! As usual there is nothing good so settle for a salad and maybe a slice of pizza...and coffee.

11:45...freak out because you forgot to type that reflection that is due at 12:30

12:20...finish reflection and email to professor and thank the heavens that someone reminded you.

12:30...Psychology class. Now this class isn't too bad but if I was a flight attendant do I get stay in a location for a little bit?

1:45...NAP TIME! ...wait...there's a paper due at 5 and you have one paragraph typed...kick back another coffee...

3:00...boring class that is filled with common sense and the sound of snoring...could I be a flight attendant or should I try a travel agent?

4:15...Dinner! And, surprise, there is nothing good...again...suffer with a burger and fries.

5:00...Philosophy class...Blah blah blah Aristotle Blah blah blah...I wonder if a travel agent gets paid well?

6:15...FREEDOM!!!

6:30...Yes I want Chipotle what kind of question is that?

7:30..."No I did not study for my exam that is tomorrow"...*internal cry of anguish* Start studying...

8:30...Youtube Break!! Let's watch cats!!

9:30...Oh shoot! It's been an hour...okay focus back to studying...

10:30...Well that is as good as it is going to get if I don't know it now I never will.

10:45...okay shower time....and the showers are full...I'll wait till you and your off-key singing are done.

11:30...What is taking you so long?!

11:45...Finally I can shower.

11:50...Time for brief existential crisis of what I am doing with my life.

12:00...End crisis...and shower.

12:30...Type paper on "Why Philosophy is Important" or something like that. Still considering being a travel agent...

1:30...Oh man it's 1:30 I need sleep....but wait there's more! There's a psychology paper you need to type!

2:15...Well I guess I can do this tomorrow....

2:30...So a travel agent? Let's look up what is included in that...

7:30...Start all over again...Travel agent, eh?

College is filled with so much stress, it's no wonder we sleep all the time.

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.
