Stuck In Davis This Summer?
Daisy Cuevas

This will be my second time spending summer here in Davis. Below are some things I've enjoyed doing while being here:

1. Summer courses

Summer school isn't the worst thing in the world. I know we all need a break but there are some advantages to it! See below.

- You can take one or two classes at a time (pace motivates you to stay on top of everything)

- You get to meet new people! Everyone is most likely going through the same situation as you and are perhaps feeling like they are the only ones stuck in Davis, this makes it easy to bond with classmates. You guys can suffer through the pain together (yay).

-You can actually get a good grade. Since you have more time and less distractions in comparison to a regular quarter you have a high chance of earning an A++.

-Get them letters of recommendation. Get to ACTUALLY know your professors and TAs. Last summer I got to know my instructor really well! After the course ended we went out for some coffee and I got a lot of great advice. Now when I see her on campus she knows who I am and we joke all the time!

2. Get a job

Since a lot of people are out of town, many places including on campus are looking for students to fill in those positions! Earning some cash during the summer is always great!

3. State Fair

Lucky for us, we aren't too far from the capital of California. Check out the state fair in Sacramento from July 14th and ending on July 30th!

4. Go to a Concert

There's a lot of concerts happening this summer, we got Lady Gaga, Khalid and Kendrick coming to Sacramento. Get some tickets and enjoy some music! P.s I will be seeing Kendrick in August, join me!

5. Enjoy the little things

Most importantly, focus on YOU! Get the chance to do things you haven't done in a while such as your hobbies or traveling around Northern California! Set yourself some goals for this summer and as you start checking items off, you will realize this summer was a productive one.

Although it's hot as sh** in Davis during the summer, it still isn't the worst thing ever. Explore new things, learn more about yourself and look at the bright side of things :)

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.
