School Is Almost Here

School is starting, and these things are coming.

School Is Almost Here
Today

It is August, and every kid knows what that means. School is starting. School starting means many different things are about to happen to students.

1. Procrastination

Procrastination is one of my many problems when it comes to school. Typically what I do is I'll look at my homework that is due the next day, and I think I'll do it tonight — then I forget about it! So hopefully I can fix that problem and get stuff done ahead of time!

2. Studying

Obviously with school starting, that means plenty of studying is coming. I absolutely hate studying, but it is something you have to do. Late-night study sessions are the absolute worst.

3. Late nights, early mornings

What I mean by this is basically every college kid stays up super late then has to wake up for their 8 a.m. class that they are dreading to go to.

4. Stress

Every college student has had to deal with stress at some point in their educational career. Whether it has been over homework, tests, papers or finals, stress will make you go crazy!

5. College football

College football is by far the best thing about school starting. Every Saturday there is college football on from when you wake up 'til when you go to bed. This may lead to me procrastinating.


6. Being broke

Almost all college students are broke. It is hard to go to school and work, so most kids don't get jobs. Therefore, they are almost always broke.

7. Long days filled with Netflix

The football team is on the road, your roommate went home and you have no homework. That equals hours upon hours of Netflix!

8. Naps

In college, kids will fall asleep whenever and wherever they can to help deal with the stress of school work.

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.
