The Perfect Study Playlist

The majority of your college life is spent at the gym, eating, at a party, and most importantly, studying. Whether it be at the library, in your room, or elsewhere, you typically have headphones in while studying. Technology has made it seemingly easier to find the newest trends and easier to become distracted throughout your studies. With a variety of musical genres to choose from, it is easy to become distracted finding the most recent or popular song to listen to while studying. Having a specific playlist for studying can decrease your procrastination level by forty minutes for each two hours that you allotted to studying. It is a great way to save time, listen to what you love, and stay focused on the future exam.

Who wouldn't want a playlist that can help get you to that 4.0 this semester?

Everyone has a different preference to music. Some people only like one specific genre, and other only like certain artists in specific genres. Some people believe that classical music is the best music to listen to while studying. Some people believe it helps them focus, while others find it so relaxing they fall asleep on their textbooks. A combination of different genres and different beats stimulates the brain in ways that listening to a single genre can not do. It improves concentration while making the five hour study sessions at the library a little less painful.

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.
