In This Article:

It's a beautiful day out. You're casually walking to class looking like a trash bag per usual. Minding your own business.

**BAM!!**

You see that boy you matched with on Tinder last night. HOW AWKWARD. Here's 10 thoughts that run through your head...

1. Wait... is that Brad or Chad...?

You swipe right on just about every male with Greek letters in their pics, cuz who doesn't love a good frat daddy?

Once you run into them you have to think... wait which one are you? Since they all wear the same Vineyard Vines tee... Awkward...

2. Please don't say hi. Please don't say hi.

All of a sudden...

Your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.

HA.

Just please don't talk to me sir... being on Tinder is humiliating enough.

3. Okay... But do I say hi?

I mean he's cute... I'm cute... Do I say something? Do I just pretend like I don't see him? I'm sweaty. AH. What do I do with my hands?????

4. I think you need to update your pics....

Boy, you look NOTHING like you do in your pics.... Disappointing AF. *Unmatches eminently*

5.  I hope they don't message me later.

^^^^ My face when I receive that awko taco Tinder message saying, "Hey. Saw you on the bus. You looked good."

YIKES.

6. How you doin'?

HOLY MOLY.

You are even hotter in person. I'll be messaging you later ;)

7. Do you even recognize me?

I think I've worn this shirt 3 times this week, I've maxed out on dry shampoo days, and I kinda smell... There's no way they know who I am.

8. IS HE WITH A GIRL?? 

Excuse me? I thought Tinder was for single people! They look pretty cozy. What the hell! I'm livid. This is why the world is all messed up!

Oh.

That's totally his sister...

Ok we are all good. Nevermind. I'm Good. Walk it off.

9. What is he wearing...

Safe to say, fashion is probably not his strong suit. Lots of room for improvement.

10. Okay... why am I even on Tinder?

I think seeing this boy in public just took 10 years off my life. Why am I even doing this? CYA.

Once they pass, you regroup and delete the app right?

Who am I kidding, you get on it again that evening and go through this all again tomorrow on campus :)

When in doubt; swipe it out.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
