Later Years of College as described by Shrek 2

Often times I live my life and imagine what my soundtrack would be. Other times, I listen to soundtracks and they really define what life is right now. The other night, one of my friends/roommates and I were having some music education and I stumbled upon the Shrek 2 soundtrack. I've never had an album so perfectly describe the second half of college. Shrek is life. Enjoy.

1. 'Accidentally In Love' by Counting Crows

Counting Crows knew what they were talking about. We all also know there's that one person you fall for even though you know you shouldn't.

2. 'Holding Out For A Hero' by Frou Frou

When you know you deserve someone special and you are ok with waiting for them. (The Frou Frou Version)

3. 'Changes' by Butterfly Boucher

Friend groups change, life changes, plans change; basically, everything you ever thought would happen just isn't quite what you planned for.

4. 'As Lovers Go' (Ron Fair Remix) by Dashboard Confessional

You're talking about when I order pizza or treat myself with Insomnia Cookies right?

5. 'Funkytown' by Lipps Inc.

Deciding that even though we are more serious upperclassmen now, fun nights are still deserved. Get that Funk on.

6. 'I'm on My Way' by Rich Price

...to insanity, to the bar, to class, the options are endless and all appropriate. Or, this is our response to free food.

7. 'I Need Some Sleep' by Eels

Every. College. Student. Ever.

8. 'Ever Fallen In Love' by Pete Yorn

This one is a classic used to defer concerned friends when you make stupid decisions. It's ok to be dumb sometimes.

9. 'Little Drop of Poison' by Tom Waits

What group members in group projects need. Or that professor that is as utter pain. Or just the people who are too obnoxious to handle. Its quite the relatable song.

10. 'You're So True' by Joseph Arthur

When you meet someone who matches your awkward weirdness.

11. 'People Ain't no Good' by Nick Cave

When you go through a best friend breakup. Who are people anyway?!

12. 'Fairy Godmother Song' by Jennifer Saunders

When you go out on the town to try to meet people, or just impress someone in class, and your friend gives you a makeover.

13. 'Livin La Vida Loca' by Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas

How we all feel by the end of the semester.

14. 'Holding Out for a Hero' by Jennifer Saunders

The best remix ever. 'Where have all the good men gone?!'

AI music threatens creativity

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.
