Ten Awesome College Party Themes

We all love a good themed-party. How could you not? There are limitless opportunities for cute Instagram pictures with friends, fun times planning the night's wardrobe as you search around for random articles of clothing you could make into something great, and much more. As a Junior, I have encountered my fair share of themed parties thus far. My favorites are those that are unique and challenge me to be creative with my costume wear. So, party-planners take note. Here are ten college party themes that will be an instant classic at your university.

1. High School Stereotype

Dig out that old cheer uniform or letterman jacket, because for one night you get to dress like a stereotype from your high school days!

2. ABC

This means "Anything But Clothes." Don't get scared away by the title, though. This just indicates that you need to get creative and make something out of random materials! Garbage bags, old shopping bags, caution tape, and more. Let your artistic side shine! Also, this theme makes for some great photos.

3. Ugly Sweater

Get in the Christmas spirit with a good ole ugly sweater. Gotta love it.

4. Coachella

Embrace your inner Kendall Jenner, because Coachella is here! This is such a fun theme for all lovers of festival clothing and good music.

5. USA

It's like a second Fourth of July! Enjoy sporting your American gear once more at this classic party.

6. Toga

Ah, a classic. Made popular by Animal House. Playing "Shout" is a must at these parties.

6. Traffic Light

Wear your status. Red light means taken. Yellow light means it's complicated. Green light means single.

7. Hippies vs. Hipsters

Hippie or Hipster - which are you?

8. Beach Party

Just your average tacky tourists here.

9. Superheros

Because we all want to be a superhero for a night.

10. Mallard Ball

Dress in all the camo you own, because it's Mallard Ball!

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.
