The End Of Summer

It's the end of summer. This is the time you start to freak out about the upcoming school year and the time you realize just how much has not been done to prepare for the new school year. There is one last week of freedom before the end rears its ugly head.

1. As the summer leaves us, so does our desire to diet...

We spent the beginning of summer trying to get "bikini ready," but now we are free to leave the dieting behind and eat what we want.

2. As conditioning for sports starts up again, you start to realize just how out of shape you really were all summer...

When our sport ended, we loved having time off. However, now we realize we maybe took a little too much time off...

3. As your summer courses end, so does your ability to retain information...

"Please, no more! I cannot physically or mentally learn anymore." - You

4. As the summer ends, so do our days of sleeping in...

We have spent all summer sleeping in and being lazy, because you know, it's summer.

5. As you enter your senior year of college, you start to question why you are really going to college...

Is it too late to switch my major?

6. As the school year approaches, you start to realize just how much you still have to get done...

We still haven't packed, ordered books, bought everything for the new apartment, or, you know, have actually gotten our lives put back together.

7. As BlackBoard starts adding your Fall courses, you realize just how much homework you will have this semester.

Why did I sign up for 20 credits this semester?!

8. As all of your friends get ready to go back, you really cherish your time left...

Cruise and jam while you still can, because those moments will not last forever.

9. As you start packing to go back to college, you realize you have no idea where to start...

Why didn't I just keep everything in a somewhat neat order when I got back from college?

10. As you start filling out your planner for the next couple of weeks, you start to wonder where the heck your summer went...

Wow... I really should have done more with my life this summer. I am so not ready for school.

11. As you start to get your life back into the swing of things, reality comes out of nowhere...

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.
