The Month of November (as told by John Mulaney)

Because I keep forgetting it gets dark now at 4:30 PM and have a mini-crisis every time I leave class at 4:45 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays

The Month of November (as told by John Mulaney)
https://www.theodysseyonline.com/top-5-reasons-fall-love-with-john-mulaney

If I'm being honest, I am still in great disbelief that it's November already - it feels like only yesterday I was falling flat on my face in front of everyone living in Schroeder on move-in day back in August, skinning both my knees and nearly losing my key in the process. It really is "crunch time", both literally and metaphorically as a mixture of leaves and snow crunches under my shoes walking back from the library at 2 AM. The coldness of the air reminds me that Christmas is coming soon, along with everything else associated with the end of the semester, from finals and saying farewell to my best friends for a month to Friendsgiving and extended family gatherings.

November is truly a "transitional month", and there's no better way to describe it (or anything, really) with a bit of humor. Here are 7 John Mulaney quotes that have been circulating through my mind these past couple of weeks, as "spooky season" comes to a sad end and "turkey time" begins.

1) Anemics' attitude toward the cold (or anyone, honestly) when they forget their hat & gloves in 12 degree weather.

2) Leaving class at 5 PM and forgetting that it gets dark now at 4:30 PM

3) Reminiscing back to the "good old days" with your cousins and siblings at holiday dinners

4) Updating your family about your life and trying to sound accomplished....

5) ….and defending yourself when they joke about how you "haven't really done much with your life"

6) Venting to your friends about that one aunt who always tries to make you feel bad about yourself

7) I feel like this one captures everyone's mood going into finals/dead week, or trekking to class in negative-degree weather

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.
