So I graduate from Missouri State in four months. WHAT.

Here's a list of the final things I have to do as a bear, just one last time.

1. Go to Boogie.

Okay, hear me out on this one. A couple of years ago I would go to boogie with friends and spend all of my time chasing after my blacked out roommate. So I never really got to enjoy it. I want to go once to the reopening just to say I have been.

2. Go to a tailgate. (And watch Pride Band Perform.)

Missouri State tailgates are quite the celebration before any football game. In years past, people make it to the tailgate and then take a nap wherever they end up. (Aparments, friends' houses, etc.) They always have a tendency to forget about the Pride Band. They are truly one of the biggest gems that the college has to offer, alongside Boomer the Bear. I need to do my best to catch a tailgate, halftime show, and a fifth quarter concert.

3. Get one more picture with the man himself, Clif Smart.

The president Clif Smart has become one of the biggest icons and trademarks of Missouri State University. To end my last year of college with a picture with the man himself would be perfect. Considering I have taken two with him in the past.


He's also just the coolest president, EVER.

4. Remind my little I'm proud of her.

My sorority little is one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever met. She goes above and beyond for everyone she knows, she is kind as can be, and she is so strong. Although I'm graduating I am going to do my best to remind her that I am always a text or call away when she needs me.

Also that big is still always there for the good times and the bad. To trust her parents and to even trust me sometimes.

5. Keep calm and just do it.

Although this semester is gonna be hard, I have a new routine I have developed. It is much healthier. I need to keep calm and just push on to the finish. It is so close.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
