The first week from my perspective.

Day one (Wednesday):

I made a poor choice choosing a class at 8 in the morning. I am not fully awake and I have no desire to get out of bed, why can't it still be Christmas break? I should get someone to make my coffee and breakfast in the morning so I don't have to get up as early. Is coffee and food really worth getting up early for? Hmmm, yes, yes it is. You know what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Well, classes weren't much fun. We have a new organic chemistry professor from Costa Rica, he seems pretty cool. Being back to the cafe food sure hasn't been a highlight of coming back. It's the first day back for the semester and I already have homework and reading to do! These professors are crazy I swear, I'm not ready for this yet.

Day two (Thursday):

Actually got to sleep in today, that was nice. Children's literature was a great class, sure will be easy. Still searching for a personal coffee maker so anyone who wants to may apply now! Also, a new job position is being offered as well. I am now hiring a personal chef, just make food that is better than the cafe and we will be okay. My nighttime class was pretty horrible. Well, not all that bad, just bad because it's a six-hour class...other than that it should be a great class. RA duty tonight means I won't get too much sleep and I have my 8 am again tomorrow. I need that coffee maker now more than ever!

Day three (Friday):

Waking up for the 8am class was no easier than the first day. Although, it is Friday so that is an upside for sure! I was real disappointed that there was no coffee or breakfast ready for me when I woke up. I'm going to have to talk to someone about that. The cafe had chicken tenders today though, that was pretty hype. I think I'm most excited about getting some good sleep tonight more than anything. Other good news for today, had a FaceTime date with Jordan, that was a highlight of the week! Already miss her and it hasn't even been that long yet. The people above me are playing music so loud that it's rattling my ceiling...how can they even hear themselves think? Midnight and they finally turned the music off, what a relief! Well, the first week of school is over...hope the next few weeks goes by fast and isn't too hard.

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.
