Not a day goes by where I don't stop and remind myself of how lucky I am to be a student here.

5 Reasons To Thank God I Go To Ole Miss
Lauren Cox

Leaving my hometown of Johns Creek, Georgia and heading 6 hours away to Oxford, Mississippi was one of the scariest things I have ever done. When deciding to go to Ole Miss, I never really thought about the drastic change that would take place in my life. Although adjusting to college has been challenging at times, here are a few things I thank God for when I think about this amazing school

1. The flowers are blooming on campus.

Y'all, whoever is in charge of our landscaping is amazing! Red tulips everywhere makes walking to class worth it.

2. The Grove is packed with fans.

There is seriously nothing like thousands of people wearing the exact same color roaming around the grove waiting to cheer on the Rebs.

3. The cutest town ever is half a mile down the road.

The Square in downtown Oxford is definitely one of my favorite things about Ole Miss. It has the cutest shops and the best environment.

4. The atmosphere is inclusive.

At such a big school, it's easy to feel lost and struggle to find your people, but not here. There are so many people that are just like you and when you find them, you'll never want to let them go.

5. The food is to die for.

I've been a student here for about a year and have visited Oxford all throughout high school, and I have still yet to try every restaurant in town. There are so many different places to eat and never once have I had a meal I didn't love.


Ole Miss truly is one of a kind. Not a day goes by where I don't stop and remind myself of how lucky I am to be a student here. Yes, school is school and it's not always fun, but these 5 things definitely make all of the hard work worth it.

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.
