It's Corona Time

Lets start off with the things COVID-19 has taken from me.

First off, my family and friends: I haven't been able to see either set of my grandparents due to them being at such high risk for the virus.My family is very close and we all live within 15 or so miles of each other so to not be able to see them when I'm home is very hard for me. I live in MS and our Governor just place a lockdown/ stay in place order on our state meaning that you are only allowed to leave your house for essentials such as work and groceries. I am a sophomore at Mississippi State and I have a job up here in Starkville so I am not able to go back home until April 20th or so. Because of this I am not allowed to see my family and friends until then.

Next up, on a bit of a more shallow level, is boys: I'm currently in one of those confusing friends with benefits type situations. He was supposed to come visit me within in the next week or so and now he won't be able to and that makes me sad. I was really looking forward to seeing him again but since someone wanted to eat a bat way back when I can't.


Now let's look at some of the quarantine activities we can do.

If you're an artsy person then you can really dive deep into paintings, drawings, etc. If you're an athletic person or aspire to be one then you can use this time to get your health right and try new exercises. For me I am a big home body kind of girl but now that it is crucial for me to stay home, I really don't want to. I having major cabin fever and its hard for me to figure out things to do. A few things I have found are that puzzles are fun, I have way too many coloring books, and there are not enough Netflix shows for me to watch.

Stay safe out there!!!

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.
