Little 500 Week As Told By The Office

Indiana University is famous for several things: basketball, Kelley School of Business, and the biggest college week in the nation, Little 500.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with IU's Little 5, it is the biggest collegiate bike race in the country. The race takes place in April and it modeled after the Indy 500. The men's race is 200 laps (50 miles) and the women's race is 100 laps (25 miles), but it is also an excuse for IU students to go on a week long bender and ignore all responsibilities to celebrate in preparation for the race.

The week can be best described by Michael Scott and the rest of The Office cast.

Sunday night, when you know the week of festivities that we have been preparing for all week is finally here.

When your uber is finally here Monday night for the first night out of the week. Everyone is hyped.

Time to get the party started.

When you get home that night and your friends force you to eat Pizza X before bed at 2 a.m...

Trying to remember the night before when you are talking to your friends the next day...

When you are told you actually have to go to class and do work during the day...

When it's only Wednesday and you realize you still have 3 more days to rally...

Going into the weekend, everyone is still going strong and getting excited for race day.

Race day is finally here:

Cheering for your team at the track for 200 laps...

After your team places and it's time to celebrate

When you wake up Sunday morning and are not feeling so hot...

When you are so sick of going out after 6 days straight you don't want to ever again...

When you realize Little 5 is over for a whole year and it's almost time to go home for the summer...

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.
