You might want to reevaluate your life if you fit any of these seven categories. As charming as I'm sure you are, your roommates are sure to be fed up with you by the end of the semester if this is how you live your life. You might be an awful roommate if...

If you leave your stuff everywhere.
I bet your roommates love tripping over your shoes in the middle of the hallway on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

If you eat everyone's food and never own up to it.

It's one thing to borrow some milk for your cereal and let your roomie know about it, but if you're eating all of their cereal too, there's, going to be a problem. Also, it's definitely an issue if they call you out on it and you pretend like you don't know anything about it.

If you steal your roommates clothes without asking and get stains on them...every weekend.
If you're going to ruin her clothes you might as well ask for permission first, right?If you bring mystery people home every night.
It's just obnoxious and kind of awkward for everyone the next morning.

If your roommate overhears you complaining about her. 

Speaking of awkward situations, this one is a great way to make sure your time together is even better (worse.)

 If you wake your roommate up while you're getting ready for your early morning classes.
I'm sure she loves it when you turn all of the lights on in the room and blast Taylor Swift at 7:45 am.

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.
