Just 15 Things Only Georgetown Students Know

We’re lucky enough to go to the greatest school in the country (seriously), with the luxury of the feeling of a small town in a big city, we literally have the world at our fingertips. Georgetown is totally unique and only the Georgetown student understands just things that are strictly Georgetown.

  1. Spending half your weekends at Village A

  2. Getting denied at Piano

  3. Making a trip to take a picture sitting in John Carroll’s lap


4. Still not being able to navigate the ICC

5. Despising the food at Leo’s

6. Not wanting to spend all your flex dollars at Epi but wanting a quesadilla even more

7. Having an indescribable hatred for Syracuse or any Big East School (Villa-No-Fun)


8. Being the only place that argues about international relations at a party, and thinking it’s totally normal

9. Walking out of your dorm and casually seeing the King of Spain, or Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff, or White House Press corespondents

10. Making fun of GW (aka Georgetown’s Waitlist)

11. Asking John Kerry’s secret service agents for directions


12. Spending half your money on M St.

13. Sitting next to an NBA prospect in class

14. Having a former government official as a professor

15. Looking around and realizing that everyone here is super smart, and really attractive, and extremely in shape.

Only those who are fortunate enough to go to this school can understand what it means to be a Hoya.

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.
