I Miss Texas, Y'all

Being in a new state has made me realize that I can't wait to go back home.

I Miss Texas, Y'all
Robyn Hearn

I am loving college and every bit of it! But the longer I spend time away from home, I am starting to miss Texas. Going to an out of state school was a HUGE step for me because I've never lived out of my home state before. I also find myself being homesick around the time of breaks, and fall break is coming up this week, so I'm really ready to be back in the Lone Star State. Here are some reasons why I miss my home.

1. I'm missing the state fair.

Everyone knows that the state fair in Texas is a HUGE deal, and it's still going on when I get home. However, I only have four days to hang with my family and hometown friends, so I probably won't have time to go to the fair. I'm upset.

2. Whataburger

I know that there's a Whataburger here in Stillwater, but after going and talking to other Texans up here: Whataburger is different. Sorry Oklahomans, but the Whataburger up here is not good. Peace out, I'm heading back to TX.

3. Waffle House

There's no Waffle House in Stillwater and for those that know me, I'm literally in tears just writing this right now. I love Waffle House no matter what anyone says. Waffle House is my favorite breakfast restaurant.

4. Six Flags

I MISS SIX FLAGS! I love Six Flags, and there is an amusement park in Oklahoma but it's not the same. I can't wait to go to Holiday in the Park when I go home for Christmas.

5. My bed

Even though my bed is bigger here at school than my bed at home, I still miss it... I know it's weird, but I miss my twin bed.

6. My family

Lastly, I miss my parents and my older brother. I've literally been missing my family so much. My brother just came home from instructionals, and I haven't seen him since March. I can't wait to see him.

College is fun but I'm missing Texas. My sweet, sweet Texas.

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.
