The One About Things to Look Forward to After Finals

We all know how stressful finals week is and if you’re like me, you worry way too much about school! But, luckily this will all be over in a week. I am looking forward to a lot of sleeping, eating bagels and pizza, and hanging out with friends. Here are some things that we all have to look forward to after finals:

1. Family

I am never one to get sappy over missing my family, but I actually do! I love being on my own and feeling independent, but the holiday season is not the same without my family. I'm looking forward to picking out our Christmas tree and decorating it as soon as I get home. I can’t wait to see the house all decorated and to have Christmas music blasting 24/7. I am also looking forward to a well deserved month and a half off from school!

2. Dogs

Snuggles from humans are not the same as cuddling with a puppy. My dog is either running around like crazy or sleeping, so I am excited to be able to relax with her. Leaving for school freshman year was really hard because we had just got Lucy, so I feel like I am constantly missing out on her life. I can not wait to be home and receive endless amount of love from the cutest dog in the whole world while I lay on the couch all day and binge watch The Walking Dead. Maybe if we’re lucky there will be a Harry Potter weekend soon too!

3. Holidays

The Christmas season is not the same when you have hundreds of tests to study for. The lead up to Christmas is one of the best feelings ever. I love spending time with my sisters, decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, and keeping up with our family tradition of watching Muppet Family Christmas on Christmas Eve. The only Christmas vibe here at Cortland is the snow we get everyday. Hopefully we get a White Christmas back on Long Island.

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.
