25 Thoughts Every Student Has During Midterms, As Told By The Office
The Office US | YouTube

Midterms are honestly one of the worst parts of college. They're like finals, except you still have to go back to class the next day. College is supposed to prepare us for the real world; who better to describe the horror of midterms than the real world we all wish we lived in on The Office?

1. Realizing how soon midterms are

2. When the professor is covering new material and the midterm is tomorrow

3. When the professor asks if anyone has questions about the midterm

4. Reviewing everything you were supposed to have learned in the last few weeks


5. Finding literally anything to distract yourself from studying


7. Realizing that you haven't had a real meal in days

8. Finding the perfect spot to nap in the library


9. Still feeling completely unprepared for midterms


10. Deciding to go out the night before a midterm

11. Waking up 15 minutes before your midterm

12. Seeing a topic that the professor definitely said WOULDN'T be on the midterm

13. Bullshitting your way through an essay question


14. And adding a few more sentences for good measure

15. Studying all night and still feeling like you failed


16. Hearing a classmate complain about how ridiculous that midterm was


17. Realizing you answered a question wrong after the midterm is over


18. When your friends ask how midterms are going

19. Finishing one midterm only to remember there's another one tomorrow

20. Feeling like you are actually prepared for your next midterm


21. When that one person who never shows up to class and said they didn't study at all magically aces the midterm


22. Feeling like midterms will never be over


23. Passing the midterm you thought you bombed

24. Walking out of your last midterm


25. Realizing that finals are only a couple weeks away

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.
