Why You Should Join The FGCU Dancing E'Gals!

No. I did not spell the word eagle wrong.

Why You Should Join The FGCU Dancing E'Gals!

Okay, Hello to my fellow FGCU Eagles as many of you do not know our very own school has an amazing dance team. Also yes we are called the Dancing E'gals, other than the numerous amounts of times I get told I spelt the word "eagle", I would say we have a pretty clever name. I mean it is such a unique play on the word eagle.

Well for those who do not know what we do, the E'gals get to help promote school spirit for FGCU at many different events, including the ever so famous basketball games. I mean who would not want the chance to be able to perform for the infamous Dunk City! Another superb experience the E'Gals get is to compete against other D1 schools at the UDA Collegiate Nationals in Orlando. In fact just last year on only the E'Gals third time to compete they won eighth in the nation. (For my people, who know nothing about dance that is a VERY superior title to hold).

The E'Gals will be back in action in Orlando this January as well. Along with dancing we also can be seen participating in local community service events throughout SW Florida. Being an FGCU Dancing E'Gal is much more than just dance is is being a part of a family. Although it is only my first year being a member of team, I feel like these ladies have been my friends my whole life, in fact they are not just my friends but my sisters. These girls would drop anything to help me out and I would do the same for my teammates. Besides having an awesome team, that pushes me to be the best version of myself, we have amazing coaches too. Our coaches help perfect us and push us succeed. I mean, I might be a bit biased but who would not want to join E'Gals...?

If you are interested, the FGCU Dancing E'Gals will be holding auditions Monday, Sept. 14th in the FGCU fitness center. For more details, check out the FGCU Dancing E'gals Facebook page, follow us on twitter @FGCUdancingEGal, and follow on instagram @FGCUdancingE_Gals. And for those who had no clue that FGCU had a dance team, you are now educated so please, stop thinking that I spelt the word eagle wrong.

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.
