Do You Really Want to Go Home After Finals?

Finals week is officially here. You're most definitely on the brink of an anxiety attack, strung out on a caffeine high, sleep deprived and red eyed, and have most definitely probably contemplated walking into traffic to miss out on finals for a little bit.

Getting to go home, is right around the corner. I know, the excitement of it is something beyond words. Sleep, sleep, sleep, and more sleep. Unlimited Netflixing, your own bed, non-campus food, your pets. The benefits seem endless. But you seem to have forgotten one thing. Those ever so wonderful conversations with family and your friend's parents.

They always happen and you pretty much want to gauge your eyes out. So before you get too slap happy about going home, just remember you're going to have to deal with annoying questions and formulate a somewhat acceptable response....or not.

1. How was the semester?

Well aside from being on the brink of an emotional breakdown and crying myself to sleep every night, it's been amazing!

2. Soooooo, do you have a boyfriend?

Really. You think a male is interested in this? Did I mention that I cry myself to sleep every night and I'm emotionally unstable? I'm lucky if they don't look at me and sprint the other way.

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.
