Here Are 5 Things That Will Make Your Spring Break Less Dull
Rachel Colburn

As the weather gets warmer, midterms begin to wrap up, and dogs start appearing all over campus, you already know what time is upon us; spring break. If you’re an out-of-state student and taking this opportunity to visit home while you can or just a broke college kid, seeing all your friends hit the beach can be a little bit depressing.

However, just because you aren’t heading to your favorite tropical destination this break doesn’t mean you can’t have to sit around just waiting to come back to class. Here are 5 things to do to make your spring break the best it can be from home.

1. Visit college friend's in their hometown

All the fun of going on vacation with your friends but way cheaper!

2. Find a new town in your state to explore

If you are feeling really crazy, get a hotel for a night and act like you are in a new place. Find new restaurants go shopping, and just walk around!

3. Dress up and take cute pictures with friends

Just because you are staying at home this year doesn't mean you can't take fun pictures like your friends on vacation will be doing! Go to a coffee shop, find a cute wall, or just a dress up and take fun pictures.

4. Take a hike/bike ride or just spend time outdoors

This is for the people out there who don't live next to the beach or in the mountains (a.k.a me). Go to a state park or a biking trail and spend the day exploring!

5. Try/visit a new activity you've always wanted to do near you

Whether it's a new place that just opened up or doing some silly sightseeing stuff of your city, spend the day doing something new.

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.
