10 Thoughts Every College Student Has Before Returning To Campus
UGA Alumni Association

As the clock ticks down to the first class of the semester, college students' are facing these annoying thoughts that keep nagging at them.

I'm just saying, I wish we could be like Phil of The Future and only go to school for like two minutes a day.

1. I hope I don't have to get too many textbooks

My spine and wallet still haven't recovered from last semester. Dear Great Textbook Genie, please don't let me have more than like two books.

2. I hope my professors are nice

There are some rude professors out there. You know the kind that just seems to hate everyone and everything. Probably because they are old and your youthful face makes them remember their own mortality.

3. I hope I can make it to all my classes in time

When you think you have the perfect schedule and then you realize you have to make it all the way across campus in 15 minutes.

4. I hope I can balance life and school

I don't want to be a hermit this year! I want to go out and live life, but if my classes take up too much of time I'm SOL.

5. Where the eff are my classes?

WHEN DID WE GET THIS BUILDING? WHAT PART OF CAMPUS ARE YOU EVEN ON? FIGHT ME GOOGLE MAPS!

6. I hope I have at least one interesting class

Boring classes make for a miserable semester.

7. How many sleepless nights will I have this time?

I like to think that I will finally conquer my constant procrastination but it hasn't happened in like the 14 years I have been in school so I'm not getting my hopes up.

8. Why am I anxious to get started?

Like I want my syllabus and everything now so I can get a head start. If I have to wait till the start of class like everyone else, I am gonna be so far behind.

9. I am dreading icebreakers

"Please stand up and say your name, major, and one interesting fact about yourself." My name is Addie, I am a Political Science/English major, and my interesting fact is that I hate this game.

10. Where did the time go?

I feel like I blinked and summer passed me by. I hate everything.

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.
