It's move-in week! It's been a long summer, to say the least, and I'm weirdly excited to get back to my academic grind at Florida A&M University.

A couple months ago, some current students at FAMU offered some helpful tips to incoming freshman via Twitter with the hashtag #FAMU20Advice. Seeing as the school year starts next Monday, I thought it to be the perfect time to compile a list of some of the best tweeted tips for surviving your first year on The Hill. Even if you don't attend FAMU, I'm sure there's a tip for you somewhere. Check out the list below:

1. Because his music gets played at every FAMU event

2. Because mental health is a serious issue...

3. Some people are only in your life for a season

4. Because the turn up isn't worth failing your classes

5. Your physical safety is important!

6. For when Financial Aid says you didn't turn something in, but in actuality you turned it in three months ago

7. Please excuse my incorrect spelling, but the point still remains true

8. Because everyone who wants to be your mentor may not be qualified...

9. Get involved!

10. Eating real meals on the weekends can be a struggle

11. Everybody-and I mean everybody- should know the FAMU greeting

12. A comfortable ride home goes a long way

13. Always be prepared for an afternoon shower

14. It's all fun and games until...

15. We all need a little God in our lives

16. And finally...

What advice do you have for the upcoming freshmen class? Let me know in the comments below!

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.
