Homecoming Weekend

Little School Spirit Never Killed Nobody

Homecoming Weekend

Over the past weekend, my university had its annual homecoming weekend. I am obsessed with homecoming weekend because I have an overabundance of school spirit because I love the school I attend. That's not the only reason, though. I am also a dancer for a dance team at my school called Boogie Knights, and we get to perform in the homecoming weekend too.

Homecoming is a great time. It gives you something to look forward to in the middle of the semester to take your mind off your studies. It is a bunch of events hosted in the weekend by the students for the students. It's just a great time.

Homecoming takes off on the Thursday of the weekend. Thursday is when we hold our annual King and Queen of homecoming pageant, which is basically a talent show. My dance team performs in this as well. We get all dressed up and made-up and it is awesome because we work so hard for weeks and then we finally perform.

On Friday on Homecoming we have the bonfire. There is also a bunch of fireworks and it is a dance party for all of your friends to come to. Homecoming weekend is my favorite time of year, because I love Fall and I love bonfires. You get to come together with your friends and have an overall great night.

On Saturday, it is family and alumni picnic day. The campus gets filled with tons of alumni and families. They have cool events for everybody to do, and they have lots of food, and once again we performed for all of the families.

Homecoming weekend is one of my most favorite times of the year, besides recital in April.

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.
