Dear Oklahoma weather,

I hate you. Really. I really hate you. It's mid-October. This week's forecast is in the upper 80's, and that continues at least until next week. Do you not understand that it's October? October is fall, Oklahoma. Fall. Autumn. Sweater weather. Whatever you want to call it, that time is supposed to be right now. Instead, I'm stuck walking to class every day and sweating, wondering why it's still almost 90 degrees. I'm ready for Thanksgiving. I'm ready for Christmas music. I'm ready to drink my coffee every morning.

But NO. Why? Because you suck. You love to be hot. You love summer. I can't drink peppermint hot chocolate. The thought of putting on a sweater makes me want to vomit. It's basically still summer. Come on now, Oklahoma weather! You've managed to lighten up from an unpleasant 105 to a drafty 85 but I. Need. More. Let's bring the mid-60's back, okay?

People up North are getting to do fun things like go to pumpkin patches and go apple picking, and I can only dream of such marvelous things. Every night I dream of what it must be like to wear a jacket. I know you have it in you. I know summer is so fun and everyone loves it, but it's not going to be so fun if you keep making it last for 10 months. Please don't make me cry on Thanksgiving because it's still 75 degrees out. And for the love of everything good, please don't go from extremely hot to sub-zero conditions. I know that's one of your favorite moves to pull on us weaklings.

Look, all I'm asking for is a happy medium here. Everyone wins. We all get what we want, and you, dear weather, still had your fair share of the hot, humid weather. I know this isn't easy, so I'll give you a little time to decide. Please let me know what you decide, though I pray it's to cool off a little a lot.

Love,

A Concerned Citizen

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.
