It's Just One Bad Day

Today was a bad day for me, but at least it's over.

It's Just One Bad Day
Johnathan Nightingale

Today has just not been going my way. First I get an email from the company delivering my package that I have long awaited to see. The problem started when they said that no package was in my mailbox, I mean the email I received said it arrived at around 10:40 am, but I could see that they were putting packages in the places they were supposed to be since they just opened. So I decided to wait for an hour and a half, about 1:30 pm to be exact. Went to check again and still no package, not to mention I was told that unless I received an email from the mail center then that means there's no package here for me. The company that delivers it sent me an email --but I guess that doesn't count--. Well, anyways I walked outside dejected a little, thinking to myself that I guess I would ride the shuttle back to my dorm. As I proceed to open the door, I see the shuttle drive right pass the stop since no one was at it.--Darn isn't that something tragic to follow up with--. From there I decided to forget about the shuttle since it would be at least 15-20 minutes before it came around again, I decided to walk all the way to the opposite end campus to my dorm. As I walk into my room hoping to just take a little nap so that I could feel a little refresh, life or should I say my roommate is playing his game with the volume up high as well as talking into his mic at full force. I tried to nap but today just wasn't my day.

About an hour later I decided to give up on the nap that I so badly needed and walk with two of my friends to the library and just do some of my classwork. It actually went well. So we hit up the cafe around 6 o'clock, but the choice in food today were just so unfulfilling that I actually got sick of eating. Get back to my room to see my roommate and my third roommate--his girlfriend-- who stays in the room all the time all day and all night. But what can I say it's just one bad day. Everyone has a bad day every now and then, it's nothing to get to down by, we know that better times are always around the corner. Can't let one bad day ruin all the other days.

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.
