'Twas The Night Before Finals

The night before finals is a special night for college students. Typically, the night is either spent in denial or cramming every last possible bit of information into our brains. But either way, we know winter break is right around the corner.

'Twas the night before finals when all through ASU...

via GIPHY

The students were panicking because all they had done for the last 7 weeks was watch Hulu.

via GIPHY

The Starbucks line is long, the caffeine rush is near, in hopes that the coffee will keep us from shedding our tears.

via GIPHY

The students were in the library, though wishing they were in bed. While visions of A's danced in their heads.

via GIPHY

And the professors with their scantrons, and I with my #2 pencil, will anxiously wait until the moment of peril.

via GIPHY

I pulled up the final exam calculator; My fate I already knew. But I checked the odds anyway just in case they spontaneously grew.

via GIPHY

I had to get a 90% on my final in order to pass. Then I started to question whether I really needed that class.


via GIPHY

It was late. The library was quiet. Nobody was making a peep. This perfect combination lulled me to sleep.

via GIPHY

I dozed off quite quickly,a defense mechanism I suppose. And as thoughts of school faded, better thoughts arose.

via GIPHY

I dreamt of seeing friends who moved away!

via GIPHY

Visiting with family from afar!

via GIPHY

Binge watching Christmas movies!

via GIPHY

And putting up the Christmas Star!

via GIPHY

I woke up feeling ready as ever. Filled to the brim with Christmas cheer! I was going to ace this final for sure. CHRISTMAS WAS FINALLY HERE!

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.
