"Tourists come and go, but they don't love Charleston like I do"

Poetry on Odyssey: Charleston
Megan Adair

The best city in the South, you'll never want to leave

Campus is in the middle of downtown, so much here to be achieved

The landscapes and architecture are beautiful

The history is what makes the city unusual

I love attending school here, but there is so much more here than a college

Endless boutiques and cafes to try, life is almost flawless

Time truly moves slower down here,

So sit on your porch and relax in your rocking chair

Three different beaches to choose from, but that's not even the best part

Each different colored house is like a masterpiece of art

Walking on rainbow row, an explosion of colors

Every day, there is something new to discover

Studying hard, after all I am here for school

But in my free time, I like to have adventures too

Sneaking into hotel pools with friends

In Charleston, the fun never ends

Tourists come and go, but they don't love Charleston like I do

Voted the number 1 city in the US, listen to the reviews!

After graduation, I want to live here forever

The charm and beauty cannot be measured

Pictures do not do it justice

I feel like i'm home, no need for a compass

I'm so happy to be back and for the school year to start

Each day, the city captures more of my heart

If you haven't been yet, then come on down

There's something truly special about the South

Thick southern accents fill the streets

All the locals are kind-hearted and sweet

Walking down King street, I have nothing to buy

But I still like to stroll and shop with my eyes

Walk to the waterfront park and see the pineapple fountain

The times I have done this is countless

Endless love for my beautiful home and city

The best place to study hospitality.

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.
