Going Home For The Weekend
Body & Mind

You know that point in the semester where you're just over it? Maybe you're trying to escape the reality of your GPA after midterms, or maybe you've been through your first serious heart break. Either way, nothing beats going home for the weekend when you're exhausted, overwhelmed and needing nothing more than hugs from your greatest high school friends.

Here's how it usually goes during the week leading up to going home for the weekend.

Monday

Alright, you got this, five days until you're free. You've got your planner all set up, plans to get all your homework done and extra work done that's due on Monday so you don't have to worry about it while you're visiting with your loved ones. You look cute, you're feeling great, these five days are going to be a breeze.

Tuesday

Okay, you're ready for the longest day of the week. You didn't get as much done yesterday as you planned, but that's okay! Better post a Facebook status about how excited you are to see your friends with exactly how many minutes are left until you're there!

Wednesday

You're on a roll! Laundry is done, all of your Friday assignments are finished, you even think you might have time to have a bit of a social life tomorrow night! But wait! You still have homework due at midnight on Sunday... Will I have time to finish it before I go? OMG I still have to pack...

Thursday

ONE!! MORE!! DAY!!! You have so much to do!!!! Nothing is getting done!! You can't stop procrastinating!!! You have to start getting all the gossip topics ready. Get prepared to hear all the boy drama. Get ready to drink a lot of wine.

Friday

TODAY'S THE DAY!!! Two classes until I'm free!!! I stayed up until 3 am packing and doing homework to go home, but I cant wait to party with my girls tonight! Just a 3 hour drive home!!

Friday Night

Reunited. Lots of love, and lots of drinks.

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.
