Freakfest 2015 In Madison Was Awesome
The Badger Herald

Madison, Wisc. is a hell of a place. My roommate and I went to Madison over the weekend to visit our friend who goes there. We heard stories about Freakfest and decided we would like to experience it ourselves. I’m glad we did. First off we got to see some of our high school friends that we haven’t seen in a while which was great. I relish anytime I get to see my best friends. Then something amazing happened.

Freakin’ Freakfest…

Let me start with what everyone was wearing. My roommate and I were Mario and Luigi, our host and friend Andy was bacon and eggs, our friend Josh was a Stormtrooper, and last but not least our friend Ryan was…a bottle of sriracha. He forgot to get a costume so he wore a sriracha shirt. Yeah he’s lame, but so be it.

I didn’t know exactly what to expect before we got to State Street. I thought it would probably be pretty packed, but I underestimated it. As soon as we got to the entrance we could see the sea of people that made up Freakfest. There were approximately 34,000 people there. There were all kinds of crazy characters walking around. We saw several other Marios and Luigis and almost all of them came up to us and high fived us. There was a guy dressed as Slenderman just standing in one spot the whole time in a very Slenderman fashion. People were constantly walking up to him to get a picture though so good for him I suppose. We went to a bar and met up with a group of UND friends that also happened to be there that weekend. Meeting up with them was pretty much the icing on an already delicious cake.

We then walked to the capital where a stage was set up for the concert that was going on. We got there in time to see Timeflies. I didn’t know any of their music, but the concert was a blast nonetheless.

Overall it was a great Halloween. It definitely exceeded my expectations because frankly, I didn’t have any expectations. It was more fun than I could’ve ever expected and we have our good friend Andy to thank for that because he was willing to let us stay in his house for the weekend.

If you want a fun time, I would absolutely recommend checking out Freakfest next year. It is a blast.

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.
