Looking Forward to Second Semester at USD

As winter break is coming to an end for my fellow USD students, there are many mixed feelings that come about. Part of us wishes that we could lay in bed forever and binge watch our favorite Netflix shows without worrying about homework, but the other part cannot wait to see all of our friends and go back to 70 degree beach weather. These past few days I have spent coming up with things I am excited for this second semester, as well as things that I hope to happen.

1. Perfect Weather

There are no nice beaches where I live, so I cannot wait to go back. Unfortunately I did not go as often last semester, so I hope that this semester I get the opportunity to go to the beach with my friends when it is sunny out.

3. The Sunset

One of the best things about living in Maher is the view outside my dorm. I am totally looking forward to taking more pictures like this next semester!

4. New Classes

Ok, yes homework and studying is no fun but you have to admit that it is exciting to meet new students and professors. You never know if you end up falling in love with a certain class!

5. Acai Bowls

Basic? Perhaps. But you can't deny that they are oh so delicious!

6. Aromas

Pleaseeee let it be open. I remember hearing that it was supposed to be open by last November, but they pushed back the date. I am really hoping that it opens by some point this semester.

7. Farmer's Market

Going to the farmer's market one Saturday with my friends was definitely a highlight of last semester, so I am really hoping that I go more often this time around.

8. Fashion Valley

Retail therapy is a must. When all hope is gone, Fashion Valley is there for you. There's nothing that a little shopping can't fix!

9. Boba

My best friend and I have a slight addiction to boba. No joke, there was a time where we went every single night to try different boba places. I miss it and cannot wait for more adventures like that.

10. My Friends

It is so true that the friends you meet in college become your family. I miss my friends from USD and cannot wait to see them and make more awesome memories!

What are you looking forward to?

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.
