If you are like me, this is probably the first time you will be seeing your extended family since you came to school. So whether you're a freshman or senior get ready to answer these questions!

1. How do you like school so far?

How I want to answer: Well besides eating awful cafeteria food, missing my dog everyday and not being able to take a bath every time i'm stressed out (which is like 99.9% of the time). Its fantastic!

How I should answer: It's great, I love it!

2. How is school going?

How I want to answer: * With false enthusiasm * Its going good, I feel like I am drowning in my assignments!

How I should answer: Its good, I love all my classes.

3. What classes are you taking next semester?

How I want to answer: I'm taking classes that you would think are a waste of time.

How I should answer: I'm going to take classes that I need to take to graduate.

4. How many credit hours are you taking right now?

How I want to answer: Um I don't know? I just show up to class man, that's the important thing here!

How I should answer: Hold on, let me calculate it!

5. What are you majoring in?

How I want to answer: I plan on majoring in something you don't "believe" in so it doesn't really matter because you don't like my life choices.

How I should answer: I plan on majoring in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and minoring in Psychology.

How I want to answer: Do I look like I have time for that?

7. What have you been up to lately?

How I want to answer: Laying in bed sobbing, watching Netflix and looking at dog pictures on google.

8. Didn't you want to major in something else just a little while ago?

How I want to answer: Well yes I wanted to be a Disney princess and I found out that's not possible for me.. so yeah!

How I should answer: Yes I did want to major in something else but I have changed my mind because I myself have changed.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.

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.
