Fall Semester Vs. Spring Semester

Fall and Spring Semester...basically the same thing, right? NO!

The difference between these semesters is like night and day. Honestly, these semesters are just as different as our college vs. high school years. Here are 6 differences between fall and spring semester.

1. A nice day

Fall Semester: nobody cares, people aren't outside playing frisbee, and people are in sweatshirts

Spring Semester: everybody is smiling, people are studying outside, everybody is wearing summer attire

2. Syllabus week

Fall Semester: the best week ever and campus seems like a movie, everybody is excited to see their college friends after a long summer

Spring Semester: winter break is over already? I don't feel like going out in the cold...when is spring break?

3. Breaks

Fall Semester: Christmas!! Everybody is cheery and happy to spend time with their families

Spring Semester: you're either one of the few who goes on a beautiful vacation...or one that sits home for a week

4. Dining hall food

Fall Semester: "this isn't that bad....I almost missed this over the summer..."


Spring Semester: this food is GROSS and I am never eating on campus again

5. The gym

Fall Semester: not too crowded because summer is over and it's time to hide in a sweatshirt


Spring Semester: a room of panicked people who gained 5 lbs over winter break and are dire to lose it before "bikini season"...lets not mention everybody that made a New Years Resolution...

6. Classes

Fall Semester: starts off all organized, almost excited to get back on the "grind"

Spring Semester: "I'm still stressed out from last semester's finals....?"

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.
