Finals are around the corner! Now, more than ever, we need to remember to take a step back and let our mind detox from the intense workload. To help you do this, I've enlisted the help of some amazing ambient music to soothe your weathered soul.

1. HAUX

Very soft, good for those late night breakdowns.

2. S. Carey

An oldie, but a goodie. One of the more popular ones on this list, but S. Carey will always lull you into peace.

3. EMBRZ

Up and coming EMBRZ began doing remixes. Now we can enjoy their original music and let our minds breathe.

4. Paper Lights

Not too popular, but still great for moving yourself out of bed and to the library or cafe.

5. GEMS

Ambient wonderland. A little more upbeat in some of their music, enjoy during the day.

6. iamamiwhoami

If you need a break from looking at notes, check out iamamiwhoami's audiovisual experiences on YouTube. They're a great way to push calculus aside for a minute and enjoy some art.

7. MISSIO

The stuff late night break downs are made of.

8. SLO

San Luis Obispo? Not quite. Still amazing, with a very light voice that gently touches your ears.

9. Message To Bears

Very popular, very good, very timeless. Message To Bears has a lot of instrumental music if you don't want the distractions of words.

10. Broods

Upbeat ambient music, often with a sense of whimsy. Best for those morning routine's.

11. DWNTWN

Late night drive from your study group back home? Let DWNTWN relax your mind on a nighttime drive.

12. RHODES

Recently featured for the Dior Men's Spring show, RHODES is a British artist with a phenomenal vocal talent. Be prepared to belt it out in the shower, you're going to want to!

13. Shura

Soft music to meld with your mind. Shura has an interesting 80's vibe to her music that gives the ambience a feeling of calm and happiness. Recommended for background music when doing outlines.

14. Sleeping At Last

Another for the list of late night breakdowns. Sleeping at last has a soft and amazing voice along with albums that work as entire pieces rather than individual songs. Perfect for binge-listening.

15. CHVRCHES

Oldie, but goodie #2! CHVRCHES has some great upbeat music that will drown out the annoying girls sitting next to you at Blackhorse.

16. Låpsley

Amazing new artist bringing meaningful lyrics and soul soothing songs to your awaiting minds! Thoroughly recommend when you feel like you can't focus.

17. Whitaker

Whitaker will give you a light voice and comforting instrumentals. Enjoy during your walks/drives to school.

AI music threatens 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.
