Crying on the inside like a winner.

Thoughts From Busy College Students.

This school year has been in session for two weeks and I am already so busy that I have to pencil appointments to meet with friends...lol at my life. However, I am still doing my best to go above and beyond at everything I am involved in. I spend 12 or more hours a day on campus and then go home and work some more. I also know for a fact that a lot of my friends who are as busy as me do the same thing. In fact, I am sure anyone who is actually busy works their asses off. You know what makes us busy people the most annoyed? People who aren't busy but act like they are. So from all of us busy college students, here's a list of excuses we are tired of hearing.

1. "I just like having time for me, so thank you but no thank you." HAHAHAHAHAHA TIME FOR MYSELF. HA. HA. HA. SAME. *angry emoji*

2. "I am already really busy"

.....Yeah Same...That's why I'm asking for help.

3. "I just don't know if I can fit that in because I have classes..."

Yeah well some of us have classes, jobs, other commitments, have 6,000 positions on campus and we still figure out how to make it work so stop. Thanks.

4. "I'm sure you're not that busy."

kk.

5. "Why don't you just not do so much?"

Well wouldn't that just be peachy.

6. "I don't think I can make that deadline because of other homework I have."

Please please say that to one of my friends who are taking 19-21 credits and turn everything in on time. I dare you.

7. "You should take a nap."

Wow that was good advice because I definitely hadn't thought of that...if I could pencil in a nap I would.

8."I would totally help you, but that is kind of a big commitment."

um...???? Literally I know...imagine doing it by yourself, which is what is going to happen because you won't.

9. "Yes I would love to do that!!" *2 days later* "You know what I just can't anymore."

um. kay. thanks. That was just great.

10. "Why do you do this to yourself?"

I literally have no response to this because when people say this to me I actually contemplate strangling them.

Those are really my top ten list of things that really irk me as a busy college student. Now, if you are actually a busy student, this doesn't apply to you and I am sure you actually understand how I am feeling. And if you are one of those students that pretends to be busy so that you don't have to do stuff...well I hope you find a bug in your next meal.

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.
