Ten Things About Spring Break

Spring break is a great escape

Spring Break has finally arrived, and now that it's here I'm having realizations.

1. You end up going home:

Me and my college friends all said we would go off together for Spring Break, but in the end, we all were called to go home by our parents.

2. You actually do stuff for Spring Break:

Back in High school spring break meant long nights and late morning, but since I'm in College my family actually wants me to do stuff. For example going to college.

3. It feels like I was never away and that I'm never going to leave:

Something about being home makes me feel like I never left. It probably has to do with my siblings treating me like I was never gone, to begin with.

4. It Lowkey feels like Christmas Vacation:

This one probably only applies to Florida, but this temperature really makes me feel like it's Christmas vacation.

5. Your parents keep asking about classes:

No matter what I end up doing it always leads back to, "How are your classes going."

6. You're a bit sick:

The one thing about Spring is that it breeds sickness, so chances are you are, about to be, or getting over being sick.

7. You get to sleep in:

Spring Break really means catching up on all the sleep you've been since you've been back to school.

8. You miss your friends the second you leave:

It's only the first day, but I already miss my college friends. They are basically family now, and I hate not seeing them every day.

9. You get to see your old friends:

The good thing about being home from College is that I get to see my main friend fam. It's great getting to catch up with all the people I've been missing.

10. You also see people you never liked:

The one thing about being home is when I go to the mall and run into people I never actually liked from high school. It may be teacher or people you were forced to have classes with.

In the end, Spring Break is a great escape from classes. Going straight through 14 weeks is rough and this little Break came just in time.( I will say my school was sneaky and made my Spring Break a week after everyone else's, but there is not much I can do about that.)

However, towards the end I'm going to be ready to jump back into school and see all the people I have to go an entire week without.(It's really not that bad but it feels like a centry.)

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.
