As the end of my Sophomore year comes to a close and I realize my school career is half way over, I've found myself looking at what has made Saint Louis University my home away home.

1. Greek Life

While Greek life is not an essential for living at Saint Louis University, it helps bring together strong friendships that last a life time. For me, joining Greek Life and becoming a member of Kappa Alpha Theta as a freshman has been one of the best decisions of my life. You meet so many wonderful women who have similar goals and values as you and everyday they continue to push me to be a better person.

2. The Various Study Spots

If studying in the library isn't your style or you just enjoy a change of scenery, Saint Louis University has some of the best study spots around campus. Whether it's next to the Koi pond or in one of the many hammocks, it's relaxing to have so many options.

3. The Proximity to the City

Living at SLU has provided a convenient and central area that is perfect for enjoying all that St. Louis and the surrounding area has to offer. It's located right next to the metro line, is close to Ball Park Village, The Scottrade Center, The Fabulous Fox, Forest Park, and many more fun places.

4. There is Always Something Going On

Whether it's the Saint Patrick's Day Parade, Mardi Gras/Barkigras, Game Nights at Chaifetz or Hermann Stadium, or musical performances at Chaifetz, Saint Louis University always has something to offer on any given week. This creates a fun, atmosphere and it's hard to be bored when so much is going on around you. SLU even offers their own sponsored events like various Taste Events where you can try different types of food such as The Taste of Thailand, Atlas Week where people inspire unique discussions through enlightening events and speakers, Sponsored Guest Speakers such as Bill Nye, and Unique Musical Performances sponsored by SAB. In the next few weeks for example, there will be performances by Daya and Coin.

5. The People

I've met so many wonderful people over the past two years, mainly this past year as I've continued to grow into who I am at college. These people who were once strangers I now consider family.

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.
