12 Things To Do During The Holliday Break

This semester has been very stressful for most of us, here are some activities you can do during the break.

1. Catch up with your friends
Many of us have friends that dorm or go to school out of state. During the break it is nice to see them after such a long time and fill each other in on what is new with life.

2. Catch up on TV shows
I do not know about you, but during the semester, I get so busy that I can barely find time to watch t.v. It is nice finally having time to watch all of your favorite shows without having to worry about class or an assignment.

3. Sleep In
On days that you do not have work you can wake up at 2pm, and not have to worry about missing your 11:40 class.

4. Spend time with your family
Many of us may have family not on Long Island, therefore it is hard to see them during the school year. On break it is way easier to find time to see our loved ones.

5. Relax
No more worrying about exams or staying up late to complete assignments. Please take the time out to treat yourself. Also please get some sleep we all know you barely got any during the semester.

6. Watch Christmas movies
Get into the holiday spirit by watching Christmas movies. Some of my favorites are How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Home Alone, and Love Actually.

7. Help your family
Yes, you can relax, but also make sure you help out around the house shovel snow, and do chores. Just because you do not have school does not mean to become lazy.

8. Work
While this is not a very fun thing to do, it will help when you need money for Christmas presents.

9. Go shopping
With Christmas and New Years Eve mean SALES. Go out and buy some new clothes to add to your wardrobe for the winter season and for the new semester.

10. Go to the city
Whether you go to see the tree or just to do tourist activities. The city is always nicer during the holidays.

11. Ice Skate
It is always fun to go ice skating whether you are good at it or not. The best time to go is during the winter of course. Do not get too jealous of the professionals though.

12. Go on Vacation
I wish I was doing this for the winter break. If you are willing to spend money, it is nice to take a trip somewhere tropical to get a break from the cold. You do not necessarily have to leave the country if you are on a budget.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

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.
