Chris

Our first interaction with Chris was one of the best. We had just met his roommate Bradley, about 15 minutes prior so we were still talking to him. Chris comes down the hall with all of his stuff and we all sat there quietly until I go "Are you Christopher?" and he gave me the look of pure terror before replying "yes… how did you know?" and the rest is history. He is a relatively quiet guy until he starts playing his game and starts absolutely screaming about the rats in the game. Chris is also a pretty funny guy and he complements Bradley's personality perfectly so I am glad they are roommates.

Anna


We met Anna just before Chris. When we met Anna she talked about how she wasn't going to have a roommate because Kate decided not to come so we all decided that Kate was the ghost that haunts the wall in between Anna and Bradley's room. Anna was also with us when Chris rolled in. While Allison, Bradley, Chris, and I were trying to loft Chris's bed, Anna just stood there and cheered us on, she's a great cheerleader if you were wondering. Anna and I joined Hall Council together and shes our buildings president so she's a pretty big deal around here.

Bradley 

Bradley and I moved in on the same day but I hadn't seen his face or spoken to him. The first time we met Bradley was through a note. Once Allison moved in, we decided to put a note under his door saying that we would love to meet him if he wanted to open his door later on to talk. Almost an hour passes with no reply so Allison and I were pretty sad. At that moment we see a note slip under the door and a knock. I jump out of bed and grab the note, he said he would be back after lunch and would love to talk to us when he got back! We were ecstatic! Once he got back from lunch we hear a knock at our door and there he was, our sweet, loveable Bradley. I never realized how incomplete my life was without this kid. Everyone needs a Bradley.

I'm so happy that these 3 got placed to be my neighbors. Y'all have made my life interesting so I hope I have done the same for y'all!

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.
