10 GIFs That Perfectly Describe Surviving Your First Week Of College
The College Things

Last Monday, I started my first week of college. It felt like a bit of a roller coaster ride because I did not know what was going to happen next. Would I get along with my classmates? Is the teacher going to make my life a living hell? Where is my class again? All these thoughts were rolling through my mind on Sunday night.

Just in case you were wondering, I did successfully complete my first week of college and I came out alive. However, throughout the course of the week I had mixed emotions, and new thoughts came to my mind:

1. What do I wear on my first day? Do people still like to buy new clothes to wear on the first day?

2. Where is my class again? Shoot, I better leave now before I get stuck in elevator traffic!

3. OMG! I should have left 5 minutes earlier. Now I'm going to be late. Can't these elevators move faster?

4. Where should I sit? Should I introduce myself to the people sitting around me? What are they thinking? Wow, we have a lot of common. We are instant BFFs!

5. Professor: "Okay class lets go around introducing ourselves. Who wants to go first?" Me: Please don't make eye contact with the teacher, please don't make eye contact! Damn it! Now I have to go first!

6. What!?!? Homework already? Don't we get a break? 2 and 1/2 months of no homework weren't enough.

7. Why is college so hard? I don't want to read a 25 page excerpt, or write a 10 page paper, or study for a final exam this semester!

8. I am hungry! What time is this class over? OMG, another hour left!

9. Should I be writing this stuff down? *starts writing* 20 seconds later, the professor changes the slide. There goes my A on the final!

10. Yaaaaassss, I have free time before my next class. I need a nap right about now! This is too much for my body to handle all in one day!

I am excited to see what my first year at The New School has in store and looking forward to building some amazing relationships with my professors and classmates!

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.
