9 Times Being A 'Frat School' Was So Much Better Than Being A 'Bar School'

Everyone knows college girls like elevated surfaces.

As frats were shut down most of last semester, some of us may have grown accustomed to the bar scene, but now that frats are back and better than ever we are reminded as to why a night at a frat is always significantly better than a night a bar.

1. MONEY

Frats provide free alcohol and there is no cover fee! Leave a frat at the end of the night with all your money or leave a bar at the end of the night at least 30 bucks poorer.

2. Better music

Because kids have control of the aux the music is far better! Who wants to risk ruining the night with some sucky tunes.

3. Age doesn’t matter

Freshman can come as they please without stressing about fakes. So once again you are saving money and attending parties with the correct age group.

4. Elevated surfaces

Everyone knows college girls like elevated surfaces. It makes everything far more fun, and slightly dangerous.

5. You can’t tailgate in bars

A good tailgate needs the fresh outdoors and open spaces for the full tailgate experience.

6. Better dance floor

A whole frat can turn into the dance floor, whereas a bar has tables and other things going on. When people start dancing, the more space the better.

7. Drinking games

A good game of pong or flip cup can simply never take place in bar.

8. Late nights/no closing time

Frats have the ability to choose their start time and their closing time so the fun can go on forever.

9. Themes

Themed parties are always more exciting. Everyone only has so many jeans and tops to wear to bars but themes at frats are a chance to get better Instas, bond with group costumes, and pretend it is Halloween.

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.
