10 Ways You Know You Were A Mustang
Steve Thomas Poly Print

There are many experiences that have united us here at Cal Poly as Mustangs past and present. The memories from San Luis Obispo and our college years will be with us from the time we spend here as students, to when we are older, have grown up, and spread out to live elsewhere, wherever life takes us. And yet, when we think of SLO we will look back on the youth and freedom we enjoyed as Cal Poly students in what is known affectionately as the happiest city in America. Here are 10 things that will bring us back to the days when the textbooks were expensive, the weather was perfect, and becoming an adult seemed like a million years in the future...

1. Sunrise hikes were the only time it was okay to get up before 7 A.M.


2. BIKE NIGHTTT! The first Thursday of every month and late night SLODOCO afterwards to refuel

3. Hiking the P from the dorms at 3 a.m. and running into Cal Poly's own horses in the pasture below

4. Beautiful beach towns in both directions

5. The tri-tip challenge and its reward of a trip to Firestone

6. Thursday night Farmers' Market and all of the amazing food and produce that comes with it

7. Studying at the cutest coffee shops any downtown has to offer


8. Being the loudest and most spirited group to volunteer at the Wildflower Triathlon

9. Knowing that WOW was never just for the WOWIES

10. The beauty which surrounds the city and the art that is inspired by it

Buy the new and limited edition Poly Print by renowned artist Steve Thomas at the Cal Poly bookstore or online before they sell out for your student, grad, or alum that still loves Cal Poly just as much as they did when they were attended.

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.
