17 Things You'd Rather Do Than Look at Your Final Grade

The stress of finals and Hell week is finally behind us… or is it? While actual testing may be over the stress of final grades will be sure to carry on into the beloved Winter Break. For those of us who didn’t do so well on our finals, we’d rather not look at that final grade. Although, we know the time will come when Mom and Dad won’t quit asking how we did, and we’ll be forced to look. So, to procrastinate (because that’s what students do best!) looking at final grades here are 17 things to do!

You’re Welcome!

1. Scroll through Ben and Jerry’s Flavors to see which one you’re going to drown your sorrows in

2. Watch Trainwreck and pretend you’re Amy Schumer

3. Bang your head against the wall repeatedly so you can blame your failures on a severe concussion

4. Get belligerently drunk off of Eggnog to forget you even took finals

5. Go to Starbucks and read the New York Times as if you’re someone who actually understands what’s going on

6. Listen to your senile Great Aunt Kate tell the same story over and over again

7. Answer questions from obtrusive relatives like, Do you have a boyfriend? How’s school going? What are you going to do with that degree?

8. Search for future penthouse suites over looking Central Park, because “you’re going to get you’re act together next semester”

9. Bake cookies… like dozens and dozens of cookies

10. Go to church and pray for your final grades, although at this point it’s probably out of God’s hands too.

11. Listen to the entire Hamilton Soundtrack for 4 hours straight

12. Go through your Facebook album $ummer 2010<3333 from middle school

13. Better yet, go through old Facebook messages. That’s sure to get you in a good mood… or make you cringe.

14. Get back together with your psycho ex-boyfrend because nothing says giant mistake like him!

15. Watch Biden and Obama friendship videos with the pint of Ben and Jerry’s flavor you picked

16. Take an online course in mandarin Chinese- maybe this course you can pass?

17. Go golfing and start knitting a sweater- you’re going into retirement before you even work

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.
