Dear Professor, I'm Sorry...
Huffington Post

Dear college professor, I’m truly sorry.

I’m sorry for the days that I missed class because it was too cold.

I’m sorry for talking to my friend that one time even though you said, “No talking.”

I’m sorry for not writing the notes you wanted me to write.

I’m sorry for showing up late to class.

I’m sorry for forgetting your class and not showing up because I slept in or thought it was a different day.

I’m sorry for eating in your class and coming in late because I got a coffee.

I’m sorry for emailing you asking questions you had already answered in class.

I’m sorry for asking you how to do that same question over and over again.

I’m sorry for not buying the correct textbook and having to bs all of the quizzes.

I’m sorry for falling asleep in your class and checking my cell phone under the table.

I’m sorry for asking for your help during a quiz.

I’m sorry for wearing sweats to your class every day.

I’m sorry for forgetting the homework.

I’m sorry for not showing up to the study sessions.

I’m sorry for failing the exam.

I’m sorry for correcting your knowledge in class that one time.

I’m sorry for high-fiving my friend on the last day of class.

I’m sorry for not ever sitting in the same spot.

I’m sorry for not remembering your name.

I’m sorry for busting jokes on you you don’t understand.

I’m sorry for whispering to the girl next to me about how slowly you talk.

I’m sorry for whispering to the other girl next to me how quickly you walk around the room.

I’m sorry for giving up on the homework and turning it in halfway done.

I’m sorry for not getting tutoring.

I’m sorry for the last-minute emails.

I’m sorry for constantly complaining about my grade.

I’m sorry for being one of “those” students.

I’m sorry for not having a perfect 4.0.

I’m sorry for signing up for a class that was too hard for me and that I couldn’t understand.

I’m sorry for not coming to your office hours for help.

But professor, it’s the last week before school gets out,

And my grade’s still bad,

So I’m really, truly sorry to ask,

But do you offer extra credit?

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.
