Parking on Campus, As Told By The Hunger Games
Kendra Miller

Parking on campus can be a true pain from receiving tons or parking tickets to never being able to find a convenient spot. Just like The Hunger Games, parking on campus is a true contest. A contest one has almost no chance of winning.

1. When you pull into your assigned lot only to find out there are no open spaces.

It's already a struggle getting yourself motivated to get to class. Not having any parking just makes the struggle so much worse.

2. When you've been waiting for a spot and someone steals it from you.

Just...ugh.

3. When you get a parking ticket.

I get it. It was either park in the wrong spot or be extremely late to class waiting for one to open up. You gotta do what you gotta do, but parking services don't care.

4. When you park in the wrong spot but don't get a parking ticket.

Miracles do happen.

5. When you have to park all the way in oblivion.

We need more convenient parking!

6. When you get booted.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

7. When you have to walk forever because parking is so far away.

Sometimes it feels like you have to walk a mile to get to your destination.

8. When you pull into the perfect spot.

On a few occasions, there is that one spot that almost looks as if it were left for you. You grab the spot as quick as you can and you automatically know your day will be pretty good.

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.
