A Tribute To Our Frat Days: A Playlist For PSU's Rising Seniors

Why do all good things come to an end?

In a few weeks we are officially seniors. As 21-year-olds, we must trade the sticky floors of fratland for days on Cafe 210’s porch. As a class, we saw Penn State in a way that our younger generations never will.

We know what it’s like to have a registered Tuesday social and that Pi Kappa Phi is in fact a fraternity. There are few songs that will always take us back to the days we ran the streets all the way from Foster Ave. to Prospect.

Freshman Year

These songs flooded the corridors of East Halls around 8 p.m. every night. Nothing will ever parallel the sense of belonging that could be felt Saturday nights at the pink house. These were some of the best days: packed like sardines, sweating beads of happiness and belting Ke$ha at the top of our lungs.

1. "Clarity" - Zedd

2. "Fancy" - Iggy Azalea

3. "Stay The Night" - Zedd Feat. Hayley Williams

4. "Timber" - Pitbull Feat. Ke$ha

5. "Rather Be" - Clean Bandit

6. "Dark Horse" - Katy Perry

7. "All Night Longer" - Sammy Adams

8. "Turn Down For What" - DJ Snake & Lil Jon

9. "Wasted" - Tiësto Feat. Matthew Koma

10. "Wake Me Up" - Avicii

Sophomore Year

Just when you thought nothing could top freshman year, sophomore year comes along. The boys moving into the houses made late night better than ever. The best of nights were spent dancing to oldies with the ultimate crew—those who can survive past 2 a.m. We were old enough to run the show yet still young enough to collectively dance to a slightly more sophisticated cha cha slide.

11. "Post To Be" - Omarion Feat. Chris Brown & Jhene Aiko

12. "FourFiveSeconds" - Rihanna and Kanye West and Paul McCartney

13. "Honey, I'm Good" - Andy Grammer

14. "Come On Eileen" - Dexy’s Midnight Runners

15. "Nobody To Love" - Alex Newell

16. "Sugar, We're Goin Down" - Fall Out Boy

17. "Watch Me" - Silentó

18. "Trap Queen" - Fetty Wap

19. "Jordan Belfort" - Wes Walker & Dyl

20. "Cheerleader" - Omi

Junior Year

Things got a little weird junior year. We lost Mr. IFC but gained many rules. School work increased for virtually every major and on those rare occasions going out was in the cards, everything was different. When did everyone become 5-years-old? A bottle of wine and close friends became ~the move.~

21. "Ricky Ricardo" - KAPTN

22. "Sorry" - Justin Bieber

23. "Classic" - The Knocks Feat. Fetty Wop

24. "Molly Cyrus" - Stitches

25. "Roses" - The Chainsmokers Feat. Rozes

26. "Work" - Rihanna Feat. Drake

27. "My House" - Flo Rida

28. "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" - Mike Posner

29. "Make Up" - R. City Feat. Chloe Angelides

30. "Panda" - Desiigner

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
