5 Reasons Why I Missed Being At Home

Now that first semester is finally OVER I am back home and there are plenty of reasons why I have missed being at home but here are the main ones.

1. My dogs... Yes this sounds bad since I am not saying my parents or siblings but the thing is my parents are always a phone call away to hear their voice and be able to talk about anything. It is also really fun to surprise my dogs when I come home since they obviously do not know I am coming home. When I got home my dog basically tackled me out of excitement.

2. My family are a close second but as I explained above they are second. Being able to spend time and talk about whatever with my Mom is a lot of fun and sitting down and watching sports all day with my Dad is also a blast. I love my parents a ton but my favorite thing about them is the fact that we all have the same sense of humor. This makes family time a lot of fun because it involves a lot of laughing. My brother and sister are not home as often so I do not get to see them as much but I am super excited to see them soon!

3. FOOD! When I come home or on my way home the first question my mom asks is "what food do you want when your home?" (another reason my parents are awesome) My Mom will make the food I want for dinner or we can order out from wherever I want. Its amazing!

4. My neighbors. My neighborhood is extremely nice and really close. I feel like they are all extended family members. If I needed anything I know none of them would hesitate to help me no matter the situation.

5. The last reason is just no class. Being able to relax and not have to worry about the test I am taking tomorrow or doing the homework assignment. There is basically no stress during the Holiday break and it is exactly what is needed.

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.
