Have to get Donut Palace at least one more time.

11 Last-Minute Activities To Check Off Before Going Back To Campus
Makenzie Johnson

I have two weeks until I leave for college, so I am making this list for all my friends in the same boat, but mostly to just remind myself I actually need to do this stuff.

1. See all my friends before they leave

Since we have spring rush at Furman, we don't have to go back early, but my other friends that go to Missouri schools do. So, before my friends rush off to do rush (I hate myself for that too), I need to see them off.

2. Cry about not seeing my dogs until Thanksgiving break

Not only will I not see my friends until then, my little babies and I will be separated until then as well. My dogs may bother me a lot, but they are amazing animals that are incredibly sweet.

3. Actually pack instead of just saying how much I need to

Some of my stuff was already packed since I didn't use it during the summer, but man my clothes are nowhere near packed.

4. Catch up on sleep

Once I get in the car for my 9-hour long journey, there is no good sleep in my near future until fall break. Naps will be a thing of the past for me as I attempt to make it through this semester alive.

5. Buy my books

I may have just remembered to do this while making this article, so glad I did this!

6. Enjoy my last few times I'm working my two jobs this summer

Those jobs have made my summer so much more fun with the people I work with and the people I interact with. So hit up Oakley in the Valley to see your home girl these next two weeks!

7. Go school supply shopping

I love school supplies for some reason and it's very therapeutic to find a notebook for 50 cents. So watch out Target, I'm coming for you!

8. Save as much money as I can

Despite my love for school supplies, I do need to save money to pay for college, so not too many notebooks for me.

9. Eat at my favorite places in St. Louis

Too bad I can't take Imo's, Donut Palace, or Mobil slushies with me, so I will just have to binge eat them while still at home.

10. Say goodbye to my family

Although they are annoying, they are my family so as our time together winds to an end, I'll spend time with them. Especially since my mom's birthday is the 13th, so I'm required to spend time with them then.

11. Finally, pack my car and say my last goodbyes

Whether it is to my new friends I made this summer or to my dogs, I'll have to say goodbye eventually and head on out one early morning. It'll be sad, but I'm happy to return back to Furman and begin a new year.

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.
