Five Emotions of the Last Few Weeks of the Semester
Daniel Rouco

If you are in college right now, chances are your last few days of classes is coming up or you are about to start taking exams. This is a crazy time for all of us! Everyday you may feel a different emotion regarding something to do with your classes, exams, or last minute projects. Here are some emotions I'm sure you're most likely feeling:

1. Overwhelmed

With all that is going on right now, feeling overwhelmed is completely normal. Just take a breath and remember that you can do anything you put your mind to.


2. Bitter

You may be thinking about how ridiculous it is that you have so many exams or projects to complete in less than a month. Sure, you can feel that way, but remember having these final assignments is usually what professors use to test your knowledge on everything you've learned this semester. You'll remember more material than you think you will.


3. Proud

You may even feel a little proud of yourself for not dropping out like you said you would thirty times throughout this semester. Don't lie, you know you said it at least once.


4. Excited

IT'S ALMOST THE END OF THE SEMESTER!!! YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO TAKE THOSE CLASSES AGAIN!!!

5. Nervous

It may seem like the world is coming to an end right now, but you can totally pull through! Just remember that if you study hard and focus, you can succeed. You get out what you put in, so work hard, so you can have good results.


If you happen to be feeling any of these emotions right now, just know that it is normal. Don't forget to take breaks and surround yourself with people who are routing for you! Make study dates or create your own study guides. You can finish this semester strong! Good luck!

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.
