Franklin College Welcome Week: Freshmen Vs. Upperclassmen

The days of summer are coming to an end and it is time to get back to beloved Franklin College. You know what that means? Welcome week! This is a time of excitement and new beginnings on campus. I'm here to take you on the journey of Franklin College Welcome Week from a freshman's perspective and an upperclassman's. Let's go!

Freshmen on Move In Day:

Move in day has finally arrived! Lucky me, there is a swarm of upperclassmen to help me move in.

Upperclassmen advice: Be thankful... this is a one time thing.

Upperclassmen on Move In day:

This time last year, as a freshman, I was all packed and ready to go weeks in advance. Now it is move in weekend and I'm still not packed. Oh well, I'll figure it out soon enough.

Freshmen at Welcome Bash:

Wow, look at all this cool free stuff! This event is so well put together. Time to get balloon animals and hop in the Photo Booth to take pictures with these people I just met.



Upperclassmen at Welcome Bash:

I just slaved hours to put together this event... I hope all the freshman enjoy it.

Freshmen at Movie at the President's:

Wow, this is so cool. I just shook hands with the president in his house AND he is giving me ice cream. I think I've made it. Although I basically know no one yet... I guess I could go sit by my LA 100 class or something, but is that lame? Oh look! It's someone from my hall, let me go say hi and make a new friend!

Upperclassmen at Movie at the President's:

FINALLY! Everyone is back on campus and all is right with the world. It has been the longest summer away from these people. Time for popcorn and an outdoor movie at the beautiful home of the President.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
