11 Things You Can Do Now That Finals Are Over
hellobc

Finals are now over across the board, and you're probably thinking to yourself, "Wow, what am I going to do with such an abundance of spare time?" There are several obvious options that will probably bring a revival of #lakelife and too many dock/park/sunglasses+flag-bandana selfies to count, but when that gets old after about one day, what will you do? Do not fret, I am here for you.

1. Lay in bed watching Netflix without a quiet, yet crippling sense of guilt

What an exotic thought.

2. Step outside of the cave known as your room and say hello to the sun, grass, and civilization

Hello, world.

3. Say goodbye to stress eating for at least a solid three months

I mean, fingers crossed.

4. Say goodbye to stress breakouts for at least three months

And the sun shined just a little brighter...

5. Probably sleep in a bed bigger than a twin XL

Sprawling can be back in your life.

6. Catch up on "That '70s Show" on Netflix

And without feeling like a dumb-ass

7. Wash your clothes because they're dirty and not because you're procrastinating writing that paper

Wow, efficiency.

8. Dabble in some of that leisure reading the rest of the world talks about so much

Time to dust off that "Harry Potter" box set.

9. Drink coffee for the warm taste instead of the last ingredient to keeping you alive after not sleeping for 29 hours

"Hello, yes, I'll take only a single shot of espresso please." Groundbreaking.

10. Wake up without crying because you don't have to take anymore tests

It's been so long.

11. Roll around in grass because it's fun and not because you're losing all sense of time and reality

Wow, a grip on life. Amazing.

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.
