'Tis the season to fail all of our finals! Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

It is the greatest time of the year, once again. Florida winter is upon us and reading days are our only savior this semester. One moment I was shoveling turkey down my throat at Thanksgiving dinner, the next I returned to campus and realized that I was screwed into eternity with three projects and 2 exams all due within the same 4-day period.

Isn't it amazing? Can you all imagine that we our actually living in what is considered to be the best days of our lives?

I'm sobbing on the inside, and I am sure you are too. Let me lighten the subject by having my personal favorite from Panic! at the Disco, Brendon Urie, breakdown exactly how finals week feels for all of us.

1.Returning from Thanksgiving break like:

"Oh my god! I have missed you!" -me to all of campus, all my friends and even my professors. At this point, you're absolutely ready to get back into the swing of things and have the semester end on a beautiful note, or so you thought...

2. Checking Canvas

For some odd reason, all of the due dates that you wrote in your agenda are not adding up. You have two weeks now to get your life together before winter break, and you swear this is some kind of conspiracy. There is no way this is true, but now it is time to face the facts.

3. Accepting Your Losses

You have realized at this point in time that there is no way you are going to be able to save yourself. It is time to accept that your academic excellence is burning to the ground and that you either will not graduate or end up graduating with no professional future ahead of you.

4. When Studying Has a Hold On You

Someone once told me: pain is temporary, GPA is forever. Don't even think about sleeping, eating, showering, talking to other people, oYir going anywhere but the library during finals week because you will not survive. Freedom does not exist. We are prisoners of a top ten public university.


5. Kissing Your GPA Goodbye


You've studied as much as you possibly can, but it still was not enough. You walk into your finals saying your goodbye to that nearly perfect semester GPA.

6. The End to All Things

You waltz out of the exam room pretending that everything is okay, but it is not, at all. The good news is, you're finished with the fall term and you're finally free to enjoy your break... until spring!

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.
