September seems so far.

A Love Letter To College Football
Taylor Terrien

Now that you are gone, I don't know what to do with myself. I spent weekdays looking forward to seeing you every Saturday and dreading when you were away. I know we had our differences and that is OK...but now that you are no longer here, I wish you could stay.

I'm sorry I complained when the game was at 11 a.m. And I'm sorry I left at half-time when it was just too hot. I'm sorry the refs blew that one game for us. I'm sorry for the away games I didn't make the trip for and I'm sorry for not appreciating you when you were around.

I don't know what I'll do this semester without you. The weekends just won't be the same. I'll miss the tailgates and the roar of the crowd when things were going our way. I'll even miss walking miles upon miles in my boots just to see you. I'll miss dressing up for you and being with you and all of our friends. I'll miss the half-time performances and the way the cheers float through the stands. I'll miss the concessions food, and the way it never fills me up. I'll miss wearing your jersey and feeling like part of the team. I'll miss celebrating a win on Saturday nights. I'll miss the upsets when we won by surprise; I'll even miss the losses that sometimes made me cry.

I loved waiting on the weekly rankings and watching all the bowl games, but things just won't be the same now that you are gone. I know we still have the NFL playoffs to look forward to, but they just can't compare to you. I enjoyed the time we had together, as another year has passed. I know you'll be back soon, just please make it fast. I can't wait to see you again and September seems so far, but when the time comes know I'll be here just waiting to cheer you on.

I love you, and I'll see you soon.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.
