To all incoming freshmen, this won't be easy. It will take a whole school year to come to terms with your... well term.

So to offer some support and guidance to track your journey. Here are The Five Stages of Freshman Year...

1. Denial

Why is everyone so tall? Why am I walking next to full grown adults? What happened to lunch lines and being yelled at for being too loud in a fire drill? I'm not ready for essays and due dates months away, that I secretly hold off until the night before. What do you mean I get to leave early on exam days?

2. Anger

Since when did she become a bitch? Did he seriously just take me out on a date WHILE HE HAD A GIRLFRIEND?! WHY WOULD YOU GIVE US AN ESSAY OVER THANKSGIVING BREAK?! And yes Mrs. (fill in the blank), I was using the entire week to be with family.

(one of the highlights of my year... sitting on the forbidden couch)

3. Bargaining

I won't tell everyone I stalked you on Facebook and found out you work at Hunk-O-Mania if you ignore me not turning in my homework for the past week and then give me credit when I finally do. Or that I left it on my "desk" last night and I swear it's there.

4. Depression

I'm so tired. There's too much homework. My friends are all changing and becoming little bitc-... I have a scoop of ice cream every night to cope and I'm in the middle of a milkshake craze. I should have listened to the high school orientation.

5. Acceptance

Okay, I get it. Do my homework in the bathroom, during lunch, and whenever the teacher says "free time". Blackmailing teachers doesn't work, friends are another story. And speaking of friends, most of them are horrible and mean. You have like three but you have an endless list of acquaintances that you talk shit about to your mom. You accept your place in school, the baby, and fall into a routine with the rest of the school population. Tomorrow's the first day of sophomore year. Whoop-whoop.


(homecoming with my homeschooled best friend. i am forever jealous)


All my love,

Madison.

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.
