Dear Franklin Street realtors,

The shock. The denial. The anger. The bargaining. The depression. And finally... the acceptance. When Artisan Pizza Kitchen left Franklin Street, I went through the five stages of grief. It was the only good pizza place close to campus. The only slice of pizza that was at least reminiscent to the pies I was used to back home in New York. But I guess you get the love you think you deserve, as the quote goes, and so we lost APK and got the monstrosity that is Lotsa.

Don't get me wrong, pizza is not hard to come by on Franklin AT ALL. But none of it is good. And looking at the upcoming openings of more pizza chains on Franklin Street is just depressing to the students on campus without cars. We already have sub-par pizza chains! Where is the variety?

Here are just some suggestions for the kinds of restaurants that should be on Franklin:

1. Italian Food

Pizzeria in the front, restaurant in the back. Real pasta dishes. New York-style pizza. Please.

3. Dunkin' Donuts

America runs on Dunkin'! Plus there is nothing quite like an iced coffee from this java joint.

4. Bojangles

Even those of us without cars should have access to this amazing cajun chicken (plus all my friends know how I feel about chicken biscuits)!

5. Cook Out

Greasy food galore. We need it.

6. Somewhere to get a nice ol' salad

Yes I know Tru has salads, but another salad place just seems necessary. We need to be healthy too! And I swear to God if another acai bowl place pops up, I might just spontaneously combust.

7. A taco place

I wouldn't be mad if it just so happened to be taco bell, but I think any taco place would be an excellent addition to our cute lil college town.

So Franklin Street realtors, these are just a couple (pretty good options). Just please please please please listen to the people. We do not need another pizza place. Especially another bad one.

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.
