30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write My Thesis
Talking Evil Bean

Being in your Senior Year means crunching for hours to get your thesis done on time by the end of the semester; however, Senioritis strikes hard when it comes to writing a thesis. Here are 30 things, both good and bad, that I would rather be doing than writing my thesis.

1. Taking my girlfriend on a date

2. Climbing a mountain

3. Going to the beach with friends

4. Becoming friends with a shark

5. Playing Pokemon GO in a New England snowstorm

6. Treating myself to Ben & Jerry's

7. Coming up with a senior prank that's better than my high school senior prank (It was terrible)

8. Having a few (or a lot) drinks with my (legal) friends

9. Watching a new Netflix or Hulu Original

10.Skateboarding down a long road on a sunny day

11. Being forced to hitchhike home from college

12. Go through old-school fraternity hazing

13. Walk through a graveyard at night

14. Go on a vision quest

15. Play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch for 48 hours straight

16. Drink hot sauce straight with no chaser

17. Go toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk

18. Go cliff diving

19. Be in the pit at a Twenty One Pilots concert

20. Suffer through Freshman year icebreaker

21. Gain the Freshman Fifteen. Twice.

22. Be a Delivery Guy for Domino's on the first Friday/Saturday night of the semester


23. Go to class drunk/high with a Conservative Professor

24. Go on a long drive at night with my good friends

25. Do the Gummy Bear Challenge

26. Ice Skate on melting ice

27. Having Thanksgiving II in the Spring and deal with the relatives again...

28. Work at Walmart to pay my entire college tuition

Watch the video here by Joe Santagato to figure out why this is such a bad idea.

29. Go sledding and have snowball fights


30. Last but not least: Have sex


Yeah, writing a thesis is not fun, and there is always something else you'd rather be doing. Alas, we must push past the procrastination and get it done. It's the last big challenge before graduation, afterall.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
