Beginning Summer Break As Told By New Girl

Nothing beats finally coming home to your mom's cooking.

1. When you complete your last final, walk outside, and realize you are now free for the summer.


After a long week of finals, the best feeling is finally being free. No more studying, no more exams, and no more essays.

2. ...and then getting your semester grades back.


You feel confident that your tests went well until you see your GPA. What else can you do except feel horrible and beat your head against a pillow?

3. When you finally sit down for a home-cooked meal after months of cafeteria "food."


We all know how delicious college cafeteria food is, right? Wrong. Nothing beats finally coming home to your mom's cooking.

4. Every time you walk past the giant pile of boxes that you still haven't unpacked... and probably won't for another month.


Getting everything out of your car and into your house is an accomplishment in itself. Unpacking everything is a whole different story. Might as well just leave it until you leave again.

5. When everybody keeps asking you when you're going to start your summer job.


The day you get home your parents start asking when you'll start working again. When you see family friends, it seems that they always ask where you're working. If it wasn't for the debt we're accumulating, I'm sure we all would ignore the responsibility just like Nick.

6. Reuniting with your best friend you haven't seen since last summer...


Sure, you've been texting and snapping, but nothing compares to reuniting with your best friend after a year apart. Here comes crazy memories!

7. ...and reuniting with people you would have been fine not seeing for a few more.


We've all experienced those awkward run-ins with fellow classmates, ex's, or friends you haven't talked to since graduation.

8. Hearing "How's college?" everytime you see an acquaintance in public.


The dreaded question: "How was college?" This is such a loaded question and one that you hear every single time you see anyone. No matter how you answer, you can't avoid the follow-up questions that come next.

9. Getting to sleep in.


Goodbye 8 a.m. classes and hello sleeping in! At least until you start that summer job.

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.
