25 Realizations College Kids Have In Quick Succession When They Realize College Is Almost Over
Mani Dasoju

Finishing college is a bittersweet moment for any college student when you finally have to give up the life where you feel carefree and independent and enter the real world, where a lot of students have no idea what to expect.

These are the thoughts that many college kids have when they finally graduate:

1. I have to actually get a real job

2. So I can't drink 24/7 anymore

3. Do I have to actually leave this place?

4. I'll be OK. I'll get my life together

5. Actually what the hell am I doing with my life

6. Waking up at 7 every day doesn't seem too bad... I hope

7. At least I would be making money

8. Just kidding. I could barely afford anything with the money I am making

9. Damn college was really the 4 best years of my life

10. Actually, college was the hardest 4 years of my life

11. Wow, I actually have to pay off those student loans now

12. Do I actually like my major? Should I change it?

13. I'm only 22. I have my whole life ahead of me

14. Holy shit. I'm 22. My life is already over

15. Sooo... What age can I retire?

16. Maybe I can marry rich?

17. I'm genuinely so confused with what I'm doing with my life

18. I should make a 5-Year Plan

19. Wow, I've accomplished nothing in college

20. Actually, my college career was not that bad

21. I found people here that I will be friends with forever

22. I wonder if I'll actually talk to half the people I talk to now

23. College was actually amazing. Life is going to be so boring now

24. I think everything will fall into place

25. Damn I'm really going to miss this place

No one has their life together after college. Make the most of what you have and you will continue to grow and eventually feel secure in everything after you graduate.

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.
