College is all fun and games until April rolls around. I am still convinced professors congregate in a conference room and gather around a circle table to plan all of their assignments to co-exist in the same week. April is the month where students who work ahead of time start feeling the pressure and the procrastinators truly push their limits. April is the final month(disregarding finals week in May) standing between college students and summer vacation; making it that much more antagonistic. During April, we as college students all have a number of thoughts in common, starting with ...

One month left in this semester!

Only four weeks left of having to wake up at 8 a.m. to go learn physiology! Only four weeks left until I get to forget about homework for the summer!

Oh god ... There's one month left in the semester!

I still have four papers, three presentations, and two tests to finish before finals week ...


If I prioritize and start now I can finish everything on time and not be too stressed out ...

Time to log on to my computer. Ooh Netflix just added that TV show I wanted to watch. Just one episode ...

*One entire series and countless hours later* What have I done? Not my assignments, that's for sure ...


It's okay I'll start tomorrow.

I'm only a day behind, no big deal.

There's a lot of fun stuff happening on campus this week...

You only go to college once and I am supposed to enjoy myself right? I can go out once or twice if I want to. College isn't just about academics, it's about enjoying my youth... Fine it's decided I'll go. I'll still have three weeks left to do work. I've done it before. I can do it again.

*Last Week of Classes* Wow where did the time go ...

I have two papers due at midnight and a presentation to give at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. Then I have another essay due on Wednesday and my last paper due Thursday. I see a couple of all nighters in my near future.

It's Thursday, 11 p.m. and I have officially finished all of my work for this semester.

Ah I can't believe I did it!! I'm done with it ALL!

Wait ... Now I have to study for my finals ...

Screw it, I need sleep. Oh bed, how I have missed you. The library chairs got nothing on you!

*After hours of studying and test-taking finals are over and April is coming to a close*

It's done. I am so proud of myself, this semester is FINALLY over.

No more tests, no more projects, no more homework, no more stress.

Summer here I come!

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.
