That's A Wrap
Renee Haerle

Hey, it's me, Renee. Happy Monday of finals week (if it's finals week for you, otherwise just happy Monday). As I wrap up this semester (literally and figuratively, because wrapping gifts for the holiday season is a thing), I'm finding myself feeling very happy with everything that has happened.

Other than the fact that there is a 79.82% I have died from lack of sleep because of studying and my soul has left my body/ am I even writing this??... I'm happy with 3 semesters down Renee.

This semester was really a semester of change for me. Re-reading the goals I set for myself at the start of this semester, I can really see some growth over the past 4 months.

Number one on my "Sophomore Fall Semester Goal List" was to become more involved on campus. Well, guess who did 3 philanthropy events this semester. This gal did. And guess who reached out to other clubs on campus. This gal did. Number two was to develop good relationships with my professors. I loved my professors this semester, I've learned so much and have definitely added some wonderful people to my mentor list. Number three, try something new. I just performed my dance final last week... that's new. (Honestly, had so much fun learning how to now move my body awkwardly-- come find me on a Friday night and you might see some dance moves inspired by my hip hop class). Number four, take the time to make someone smile. It's been a personal goal of mine to make at least one person smile every day. So far so good, if it's that simple smile and wave on campus or a cute little card that I made for a friend, I loved making people smile this semester. Number five was to learn how to make something other than your bomb scrambled eggs. I can gladly say I've done just that. I haven't even eaten scrambled eggs in while. I've done everything from pb&j to a nice cooked salmon. Finally, we have number six, which was to be happy. I'm pretty stoked about how this semester turned out.

Alrighty kiddos, I must bid my farewell for now because I'm about to reopen my accounting textbook and cry for 6 minutes. Happy Monday!

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.
