One of our favorite weeks of the school year is finally upon us: Homecoming Week! The week that brings alumni, faculty, parents, students and most importantly, our mascot, all together. A week dedicated to appreciating our school and showcasing just how much school spirit we all have. I want to make sure all of my CMU readers are in the loop on all of the events going on this week so here's a quick recap of what to attend.

Monday, October 17th: Rowdy's Birthday Celebration, University Center 11-2pm

There will be sugar cookies and cupcakes to decorate, music, and of course Rowdy! Snap a pic with him and celebrate his special day Mav style.

Tuesday, October 18th: Casino Night, University Center Ballroom 6-8pm

It's Casino night and the game is poker so make sure your poker face is on fleek and get ready for a Vegas style of a good time. Did I mention there will be prizes to win?

Wednesday, October 19th: Foam Finger Decorating, University Center 11-2 pm

There's absolutely nothing that showcases classic school spirit like a foam finger. The foam fingers and crafts will be provided by PAC, (all free with your MavCard) it's perfect to have for the big football game Saturday night and to use as room decor!

Thursday, October 20th: Pub Night @ The Warehouse 8-11 pm

One of my favorite events of the month is Pub Night and the fact that it's at The Warehouse makes it even more exciting. If you haven't been to a Pub Night yet you're not going to want to miss this one. The Warehouse is literally a warehouse turned into a brewery/restaurant and the ambiance is pretty neat.

Friday, October 21st: Bonfire, Near Dominguez Hall 8-10 pm

This is where the tradition of the burning of the other teams mascot all started. This year as we play Adams State University in football we will be burning their mascot, the grizzly bear at the bonfire. Don't worry, it's not the actual mascot as that would be kind of hard to get hold of, but a paper mache duplicate hand made by the Art Department. Burn, baby, burn!

Saturday, October 22nd: Parade, Student Tailgate, and Football Game

The most jam packed day of them all. The parade hosted by various clubs on campus takes place on Main St. starting at 2pm. Then the student tailgate starts at 4 pm followed by the football game at 7pm which all take place at Stocker Stadium.

There you have it, I hope you guys are looking forward to this week as much as I am. Let's make the most out of it and paint the town in maroon and yellow!

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.
