There is no better feeling than having nothing left on your to- do list by 1 o'clock.

5 Reasons To Rethink Hitting That Snooze Button In College

I am a college student, and my internal clock is 3 hours earlier than it probably should be. College students are painted to be the type of people to dread waking up for an 11 am, and here I am up every morning without an alarm at 8. I used to hate this about myself, because I was always so bored in the mornings, but I've come to realize the reasons this is one of my favorite traits. Most people think I am completely insane, but here are 5 reasons to rethink hitting snooze.

1. Breakfast

As you may already know, typically most places stop serving breakfast at 11, thus all of you who wake up at 1045 to (barely) make it to your 11ams, are missing out on this luxury. Even the dining halls have stopped serving breakfast.

2. A Quiet Campus


If you have never seen USF before 9 am, you're truly missing out. When the campus is quiet, and there is very few cars, or even people around the beauty of this campus is breath- taking. It's easy to over look it all when there's 40,000 people running around.

3. An empty gym


One of the most underrated things in life is an empty gym. There is no waiting, or sharing, and it makes for an amazing workout.

4. Fresh Coffee

5. A feeling of accomplishment

By the time noon comes around my friends are finally awake, and ready to start there day. Meanwhile, I have ate breakfast, gone to the gym, gone to class, and done my homework. There is no better feeling than having nothing left on your to- do list by 1 o'clock.

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.
