Packing for school can take you on quite the emotional whirlwind. Deciding what to take can be overwhelming, exciting, frustrating, and bittersweet. Whether you're a freshman or a senior, everyone goes through it. Here are the seven stages of packing:

1. The Excited Phase

College is starting again! You get to see all your friends and get your life back together after a relaxing summer break!

Excited Marshall

2. The Procrastination Phase

Packing is such a hassle after you spend weeks trying to avoid it. You try to do anything but pack. Run errands? Sure. Clean the house? Sure. Pack? Absolutely not.

Barney

3. The Tears Phase

You finally start packing and come across a childhood toy or something your mom bought you like two years ago and you question going to school at all. You start to cry and get all you clothes wet and have to let it dry. More procrastination.

4. The Confused Phase

Your clothes dry from the tears phase and you soon enter the confused phase. The worst phase of the packing process. Do you take the light blue top or the navy blue top? Are you really going to use those baggy pants? You really don't need the maxi skirt, but you know you are going to miss it.

Lily

5. The Frustrated Phase

Two words: Nothing fits.

6. The Messy Phase

You finally finish packing and you feel like you're finally done . You walk into your room and everything you didn't pack is everywhere. It's all a mess and you want to scream.


7. The Satisfied Phase

You picked up your room. You're all packed. All is good in the world.

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.

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.
