The First Week of Senior Year, As Told By Beyonce

Because, sometimes Queen Bey is just SO RELATABLE.

The First Week of Senior Year, As Told By Beyonce
Independent

For many colleges and universities, classes have already begun for the semester, and for college seniors, the first week is one of the best and worst weeks of our lives. And it's pretty difficult to describe that feeling, so I felt like Queen Bey would be better for the job.

When you step back onto campus for the first time:

When the professor tries to keep you the entire hour on syllabus day:

Give me those three pieces of paper, talk about the book I'm NEVER going to buy, and then let's BOUNCE.

When you look at the syllabus for your upper-level course and see that you already have a paper due by the end of the week:

Why, yes, professor. I would LOVE to write a five-page paper to celebrate coming off of a three-month stint of laying around the house every day.

When you find out that you and your best friend are in the same class together:

This feeling is the same whether or not you previously knew if you'd both be taking the class.

How you and that best friend then proceed to act during the whole class period:

By the time you reach senior year, you realize how useless syllabus day is anyways, so you might as well try and find a little bit of enjoyment in the mundane.

When the professor calls on you in class, and you are DEFINITELY wrong:

Look, I'm in this 100-level course so that I could just sit back and glide through for an easy A, please don't expect me to impart my wisdom onto the freshman by participating.

When your adviser asks what your plans are following graduation:

I DON'T KNOW, OKAY? For right now, I'm just trying to get by and making sure I don't fail so that I can get out of here. I'll figure out my plans in April!

When you go to that first house party on Friday night:

Looks don't matter when you're just trying to slam shots of Fireball and forget about the fact that you're going to be forced into the real in just nine short months.

How you feel at the start of the second week when you see freshman freaking out about the upcoming year:

We all kind of feel like the beginning of the year is pretty daunting, but then you see the things freshman worry about, and you realize how much you are capable of in the next year, and that's pretty empowering.

So, here's to the Class of 2017. Let's raise a glass to making this last year f****ng amazing and being the baddest bitches Beyoncé would want us to be.

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.
