1. Coffee

This is my personal go to! I think half of my meal plan goes towards iced coffee. Whether you need the caffeine to get you going in the morning, or just a little boost halfway through the day, coffee will ALWAYS have your back!

2. Sleep

This is something we tend to ignore in college. We think “oh I’ll give up these few extra hours of sleep. No big deal” then highly regret it the next morning..or whenever it finally decides to catch up with us. MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP, or your whole day could be thrown off!

3. Dance sessions with roommate

After about an hour of studying, a random breakout of dancing/singing with my roommate is almost guaranteed (I feel bad for anyone walking past our room at the time). It is so helpful to have a few minutes of letting it all out, then being able to sit back down and focus.

4. Find a good place to study

Make sure you find a GREAT place to study. I have found that a certain corner of the library is where I’m most efficient…might sound weird but I believe it’s all about the atmosphere.

5. FOOD

Studying requires energy and comfort therefor I believe it is a requirement to make multiple trips to the closest food source while studying

6. Comfy clothes

No one wants to sit at the library in an uncomfortable skirt or dress so always pick your comfiest clothes! Who cares whether you look good or not, everyone understands!

7. A good playlist/Netflix show

When you aren’t deep in the books, you need a way to relax. Find a great show on Netflix or a solid playlist that allows you to take your mind off your schoolwork for a little while!

8. REWARD YOURSELF AT THE END

YOU MADE IT! This is the most important one! You survived the crazy week, now you deserve a trip to your favorite ice cream shop, the movies, or a mini shopping spree! Let loose and have some fun!

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.
