Work combined with fun, what could be better?

How College Is Exacty Like The Office

College is like having a full-time job; being swamped in work, never sleeping, but still finding time to enjoy with friends. The Office series truly captures what it is like to "work" in a place full of ups and downs- just like college.

1. When it is Monday and you realize that you will be doing school work constantly for the next five days.

2. When you start a new topic in one of your classes but the teacher just reads out of the textbook and leaves you clueless.

3. When you are so tired from walking campus all day and then you see the elevator is on your floor so you don't have to walk up the dreaded stairs.

4. When it is Thursday night, but you have an 8am on Friday.

5. When you don't see your laundry in the dryer you left it in, but then you see that someone folded it for you instead of just throwing it on the floor like usual.

6. When you teacher assigns a new essay and gives you "freedom" with your topic, and then asks if anyone has any questions.

7. When you find a new shortcut to your furthest class after waking up 20 minutes late.


8. Having a bad day then realizing your school has an ice cream station with unlimited amounts of happiness.

9. When you get an A+ on an essay you actually put a lot of hard work into, didn't start the night before, and gave a draft to your teacher to check.

10. When it is finally Friday and you have the entire weekend to enjoy.

11. When you realize that you only have two weeks left of the semester.

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.
