Due to dead week, finals and the approaching holiday season, I think we all look forward to heading home for a month of no school work and very little responsibilities. The holiday season is filled with lights, music, family, friends and food. However, after the first week I remembered just how boring my hometown truly is before the Christmas festivities start. The following describes everything that gets accomplished in the first week of being home.

1. SLEEP!!

The first thing I NEED when I get home is sleep. I have to make up for those hours lost in the library during finals week.

2. Eating real food

Being home means having a house full of food everyday. No more late night Dominos or frozen "TV dinners." It's home cooked meals for an entire month and no one will stop me from having seconds. (However, it's only been a month and I miss Cook Out already.)

3. Pets 24/7

There's nothing better than walking in my front door and being greeted by all my pups. I've been home for a week and have yet to sit in a seat without having a dog on my lap. Being home is seriously making me consider dropping out and becoming a dog sitter.

4. Binge watch Netflix

Winter break means sitting around in sweatpants watching Netflix series after Netflix series. Or if you're like me and can't decide on a Netflix series sit on the couch and watch reruns of Grey's Anatomy on the Lifetime channel every weekday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (Apparently in one short week I've also managed to memorize the TV Guide.)

5. Relax

The whole point of winter break is to relax and prepare yourself for a stressful semester of darties, uh I mean classes. The holidays are sometimes stressful too so during the first week of break it's crucial to relax before the chaos of family parties takes over your free time.

After one week of being home I keep asking myself one important question. Is it time to go back to school now?

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.
