The Last Two Weeks Of The Semester, Told By Buddy The Elf

December has finally arrived — fashionable winter scarves are broken out, anywhere and everywhere is a sea of green and red, and Christmas music is [finally] accepted to be played on a daily basis for the next several weeks. Although most of us would love to be curled up in a ball on the couch watching Christmas movies in our pajamas and drinking hot chocolate, one thing stands in the way for college students: the end of the semester. The two week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas break is a harder hump to get over than your typical Wednesday. Let this list of Elf GIFs get you through the next two weeks — you can do it!

Me: Break was nice, but I'm excited to be back and go out with friends.
Homework:


OMG IT'S FINALLY DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'll put up a few decorations as a little study break.


Me: Wait, so what do I need to study for this final?
Prof: Everything is in the study guide.


Me: I can't afford any distractions from studying. I have to stay in.

Friend: The first snowball fight of the year's happening now!

Me:


Friends: Let's grab a small bite to eat at the dining hall before studying.
Me:


Me: I seriously have to stay in and study.

Friends: But it's our last weekend to go out... just one drink?
Me after more than one:


Me: I should have studied more, but it's ok since it's not cumulative.
Friend: No, it's cumulative...
Me:


Me: Alright, I'm ready to kick this final's ass.
First exam question:


Roommate: Have you left the room at all this week?
Me: No, I've been studying. Why?
Roommate:


Friend: I only had one final on Monday! I get to go home early!!!
Me:


Me: Anything else I need to do before I turn my final in?
Prof: That's it! Have a grea--
Me leaving my last final:


Me barely surviving the end of the semester:

Now go celebrate that well-deserved time off with a Hallmark Christmas classic and a cup of hot cocoa ;)

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

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.
