Five Items You Actually Need In Your Bag When You Go Out

1. Toilet paper

Whether you are at a fraternity house, the bar or out in nature, you never know when you are going to need it. Toilet paper should be an essential part of your going out bag because you don't want to be caught in a sticky situation.

2. Band-Aids

Face it, we all have rough nights. Having Band-Aids can help seal up that bloody knee or cover up that blister from your heels and get you back out there. No matter what, Band-Aids should always be packed, you never know whose going to need one!

3. Snacks


We all get a little hungry when out, so why not keep the hanger at bay by packing yourself a little midnight snack? Your body might even thank you for it! (Or hate you for it.) Don't be ashamed pack that snack! You might even make friends with fellow hungry bar-goers.

4. Disposable Camera

Who said these had to be left in the 90's? Disposable cameras always come out with the best (or worst) pictures. Half of the fun is in the surprise when you pick up the pictures and see how well they turned out! This will also keep you from spending half your night redoing the same picture over and over again. So, go out and spend five dollars on that little yellow camera, it might even be your new thing.

5. Phone Charger

This should always be an essential no matter what. Don't be afraid to be that person charging their phone at the bar or party, everyone will secretly regret that they didn't being theirs. Not to mention if you don't end up going home that night you know your phone will be charged to call for a ride!

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.

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.

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.
