High School Vs. College: Senior Year

With my senior year coming up in the fall, it's hard to believe that it's already my last year. But what's even harder to believe is that it's already been four years since I started my senior year of high school. Things sure can change a lot in four years, and there are a lot of differences in being a senior in high school and being a senior in college.

1. Senior year of high school: Deciding on the PERFECT outfit to wear when you strut into school on the first day.
Senior year of college: Picking out the t-shirt with the least amount of wrinkles and maybe putting on some make-up… maybe.

2. Senior year of high school: Painting “SENYAS” and “2012” (or whatever year) on the back windshield of your car so everyone in town knew that you were a senior.
Senior year of college: Dear God, PLEASE don’t do that. I mean, unless you really want everyone in Commuter West to know that you’re a senior… but I wouldn’t advise it.

3. Senior year of high school: Getting resumes together to send to people so they can write sorority recommendations for you.
Senior year of college: Not showing up to chapter for said sorority because you’re a senior who thinks they can miss chapter.

4. Senior year of high school: Waking up at the crack of dawn to get to Starkville to tailgate all day before a football game.
Senior year of college: Actually, that still happens. Except you don’t have to drive two hours from home just to get there.

5. Senior year of high school: Joining every club so it would look good on resumes and college applications.
Senior year of college: Doing the bare minimum when it comes to clubs because you don’t have time for that at this point.

6. Senior year of high school: Waking up super early so you were able to go to Chick-fil-A for breakfast.
Senior year of college: "Early" is 10 a.m. It's awful, and you miss Chick-fil-A breakfast.

7. Senior year of high school: Counting down the days until graduation because you were one step closer to getting the heck out of your hometown
Senior year of college: Crying at graduation because you want to stay in college forever. DON’T MAKE ME GO INTO THE REAL WORLD.

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.

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.
