1. Surprise!!


WHAT IS HAPPENING??? What a shock it was for a freshman like myself! Suddenly hearing someone banging a cowbell during band rehearsal when there shouldn't be cowbell, then realizing that, actually, someone was standing by the door banging a small pot and shouting "walk out walk out!!", got my heart pumping a little faster. My face must have been "picture perfect shock."

2. No classes, you say???

Ooo-hooo-hooo! I wonder how many things I can get done today... For a extreme non-procrastinator, today has become a "get ahead in class" free card.

3. Wait... Are we supposed to be doing this? (again, for us newbies)

(Sherlock's face at the end though bro is like "seriously? Don'tcare, get over it.")

Dont worry! Turns out that the walk out today was totally legal and even planned by the president and coaches! I had never done anything like this, nothing of sort, so following the crowd and going with the flow was definitely a thrill, something that doesn't happen every day in my every day life.

4. FREEDOM!!

Not only do we get out of class (and have an extra chance to relieve school/homework/test stress), now we get free bowling AND free lunch?? And not just any lunch, but Chick-fi-la! Score, win-sauce!!

5. Chick-fil-a

I think that most of us will agree that Chick-fi-la is so special and amazing that they deserve their own point. The chicken sandwich boxes were on point! I had been craving chicken for the past week, they were really delicious.

6. Nap time....

Sleep. Enough said.

7. Lounge and Laze

My favorite L words (after lollipop because it's so fun to say), and my favorite Saturday activity. That is, when I have the chance. Grab some snacks and a movie or a book and settle under folds of a heavy blanket. In my opinion, Golden Grahams and fig newtons, the movie Jason Bourne: Bourne Identity or any of the Ranger's Apprentice books, and my wonderful fuzzy blanket an adult friend of mine gave me. She was my faculty prayer partner from high school.

8. Stay Inside

Maybe you got to stay inside for most of the day, except for the yummy Chick-fi-la lunch. Maybe you had to go out a few more times.... for dinner or practices. But it sure is nice to stay inside where it's warm, today was rather cold!

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.
