Enjoying Winter Break As Told By "The Lord Of The Rings"

So, winter break is finally here. Finals are over, teachers are no longer breathing down our necks, and now, long days of doing nothing on the couch with a remote in one hand and hot chocolate in the other begins. However, even though winter break is just that, a break, this time should also be used to not be a total couch potato and lean more towards being proactive for the coming semester. And with that, here are a few ways you can enjoy your break and keep from regaining that "Freshman 15" that you so ardently tried to lose...

1. We can now officially accept the fact that finals are done and will not return for the next six months.

2. Since number one has been established, a moment of silence is encouraged for those who didn't make it through finals.



3. Rejoice in the fact that you are finally able to stay at home and not be forced to wear pants.


4. Remember, DO NOT think about school. That is the whole point of winter break: NO SCHOOL. Enjoy it. Savor it. Don't even try to think about studying for next semester.


5. Finally, yes, we understand it is winter break. We can be lazy, get fat, and not care what a single person thinks about it. However, that doesn't mean we should become complete bums. Enjoy break, but also remember that exercise is good for the soul and an hour of it a day keeps the doctor away! Or maybe that was just apples... oh well. Either way, enjoy yourself, but be smart about it!


And that's all, folks! Enjoy winter break, and I hope you all did well on finals! Enjoy yourselves!

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.
