1. Cracking Open That Textbook To Study For The First Time

You are still pretty confident and have hope that studying won't really be that bad this time, right? The exam is still far enough away that panic hasn't set in yet.

2. What's The Harm In One Small Break?

In fact, the exam is so far away that you have time for a quick break. What's the harm in watching one episode on Netflix or spending a bit of time with your friends?

3. When That Small Break Turns Into 2 Weeks Of Procrastination

Ok, so this short, ten-minute break may have turned into days of procrastination. You haven't opened one textbook in a week. But that's fine, the exam is still a few days away...

4. Being Productive In Everything But Your Classwork

You feel a bit guilty about not studying, so your procrastination turns from spending time on your phone and Netflix to random chores like cleaning or reorganizing your entire room.

5. Cramming 5 Weeks Worth Of Work In One Night


When you finally get back to studying, the exam is in 12 hours and you're freaking out. It's possible to do eight hours of work in 30 minutes, right?

6. That Night-Before-The-Test Panic


You now understand that you definitely should have procrastinated less and began studying sooner, since there is no time left. Panic sets in as you begin to realize your fate.

7. Finishing Your Paper and Studying Moments Before The Exam

After an extremely late night of frantically writing and breaking down in front of your study guide, it's finally time for the exam. Do you think the professor can tell that you haven't slept in four days?

8. Forgetting Everything You Learned After The First Test Question

This test is way harder than you originally were expecting, and that panic begins to come back as you try to recall a whole semester's worth of information. You swore you knew this 10 minutes ago!

9. Walking Out Of The Test Room Like You Just Left A War Zone


The exam is over, and you feel like your entire life has flashed before your eyes. You leave the classroom in a daze, not sure exactly what just happened or what to do with yourself now that it's done.

10. That Moment Of Pure Joy When You Realize That You're Finally Done

A feeling of ecstasy overwhelms you as you realize that exams are finally done and it's summer! You can finally relax, spend time with friends, and maybe, just maybe, even sleep.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
