Syllabus Week is most definitely considered to be a holiday in the world of college students. It is the one week when we can be in classes and relax (for the most part) because we know we will not have any big due dates, such as tests or major projects for at least another couple of weeks. Syllabus Week is also the perfect time to meet new people in your classes and intentionally make new friends. Why not start the new semester on a positive note, "literally" using the most positive person television has ever known: Chris Traeger.

When you are back from a long break and you are eager to see what the new semester will bring.


Then you finally get to see the friends you have not gotten seen over the break and you just cannot contain your excitement. So you end up running up to them at least somewhat like this...



After seeing your friends in person for more than five minutes, you eventually say something along the lines of...


You finally get to class and you think to yourself "What have I gotten myself into?" It's only the first week and you realize you have a long way to go.


Then your teacher hands you your first syllabus and you realize how work you are going to have to.


But wait, then you have the sudden realization that you have more than this class and you have no idea how you are going to balance school and having a life.

Finally classes are over for the day and you just want to unwind and have a little fun.


After having a great night you wake up for classes the next day and you realize your teacher had sent an email saying something along the lines of "bring this to class" and you completely forgot. So you tell yourself,


You survive class even though you forgot to bring your lecture notes, syllabus or even textbook and you're so proud of yourself.


After feeling bad about messing up in today's class you decide to stay in and get some rest only to be so worried about the upcoming semester you can hardly sleep.


It's the end of the week and you finally have a game plan for your next semester.


But in the end you are "literally" so excited for another great semester.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
