It's as if your stomach just knows what time it is. Whether you're out and about after a night at the Jug or cramming before that exam in Case, your stomach somehow always begins to growl begging for some nourishment when the clock strikes 2 a.m. Sometimes choosing food at this hour can prove to be quite challenging. The questions linger: Do I want a meal? Do I want a light snack? Do I want to be healthy? Do I really care? Do I want to eat my feelings? Rather than debating over what you're going to eat until you're starving and eat the entire contents of your fridge and/or pantry use this handy list below for the best late night foods that will satisfy any craving you are having.

1. Mood: Cheesy

Easy Mac

A classic choice: Easy Mac will never fail to satisfy your cheesy-craving. It's also incredibly easy and fast to make for those times when you're in that need-to-eat-now state of hunger.

2. Mood: Salty

Dirty Funky Fusion Chips

These chips are an amalgam of flavors making them truly a "funky fusion" that will most definitely satisfy your late night cravings. Though a mixture of flavors, these chips are both salty and crunchy making them an incredible potato chip.

3. Mood: A Light Meal

Bagel Bites

These mini versions of pizza will satiate you without making you completely stuffed. Once again, these pizzas are very easy to make! Just pop 'em in the microwave for a few minutes and you are good to go.


4. Mood: To Be A Child

Peanut Butter & Jelly

The sweet and salty combination of your favorite childhood sandwich never failed when you were a kid, so it definitely won't fail now.


5. Mood: Something Sweet

Any Flavor of M&M's

M&M's are a very sweet and portable snack that you can find in almost any of the vending machines on campus. With the new flavors that were just released (Chili Nut, Honey Nut, and Coffee Nut!!), you will always have a variety of flavors to satisfy your sweet-tooth cravings.


6. Mood: Healthy

Banana and Peanut Butter

The staple and yet simple snack with leave with you full without that "too full" or "greasy" feeling. It is truly a guilt free!


7. Mood: Really Satiating Without Going Over Board

Quest Bar

These very tasty protein bars come in a variety of flavors (both salty and sweet) and will leave you completely satiated due to its 21 grams of protein. However, they only have 180 calories so are definitely not ruining your diet or bingeing by any means. Feel free to eat any of the flavors (my personal favorite is Cookies & Cream) without feeling like you're truly cheating.

8. When all else fails and you really can't decide

Pizza

Pizza always wins.

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.

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.

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.
