Today is Wednesday, so that means that this semester started exactly three days ago. However, so much has happened in that time. I can remember back to last semester, when everything was first getting started, everything took so long to kick-off. During the first week of school in the Fall, I can remember doing almost nothing for my classes. Now it's like I was just dropped off right in the middle of the semester.

All that is ok, to be honest. I am just glad to be back to see all my friends again and get another semester of college under my belt. I just feel like this semester will be a grind, but I'm up for it. I knew heading into the semester, that not everything was going to come easy, but that's also why I invite the challenge.

I mentioned in an article before how great the community of people that I have around me here at college. Guess what? They're still here. Not everything quite looks the same as it was last semester, but that great community is still here. I know that no matter where this long road that is college will take me, I know that I'll always have people here to walk down it with me.I'm very excited to see where the road takes me and I'm ready to continue the walk this semester.

I can already tell that this semester will not be very easy. I know, however, that I can face these challenges head-on and have success no matter what happens. I know that I can have success with everything that I do this semester and I'm just ready to go for it.

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.
