PBS

We all see our friends graduating on a daily basis. So here are a list of feelings that we feel watching them graduate and us having to wait.

1.JEALOUS

As we see our former classmates and best friends take all those pictures with their degree, there is a feeling of disgust. The feeling of why are they graduating before us, Why are we just about to start our finals?

2. SADNESS



You begin to feel sad to know that they are moving on and may leave you behind. However, you begin to understand that since their college careers are ending, yours is right around the corner.

3. HAPPINESS


You begin to have this feeling of happiness for your friends. You understand that all of their hard work has finally paid off and now they are starting a new chapter in their life. THis is the moment when you realize that you are nearing your time.

4. NERVOUSNESS

Finals are here and for us graduating, we understand that finals want to make us cry, We had to struggle through four years of finals, but for some reason, these finals are more intimidating. Why? Probably because if we do not pass, we will be stuck in college for another semester.

5. ANXIOUSNESS

Our grades are in and now it is time for graduation! We made it to this momentous day. It is time for the institution to come together, your friends and family to watch you complete this chapter of your lives. That anxious feeling sets in while waiting to start the walk to the seats.

6. FULFILLMENT

We MADE IT! We took our oath and promised to ourselves that we will take on any and all opportunities that come our way. All the blood, sweat and tears that went into making our college career successful.There is nothing better than knowing that you have made your family proud and yourself proud.

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.

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.
