Everyone has rapid thoughts floating through their minds during exams. For me, they're almost all the same. Thinking about food, the time, and looking around to see if anyone is suffering just as much as I am. Here is a list of some other very common thoughts we all have while taking an exam!

1. I am sooooo ready. I’ve studied for one week straight every day for eight hours. I know the material and I am ready for anything that comes my way.

2. Question number 1--what? What is this even asking? I don’t even know the answer to this. Great start. Great.

3. How do they expect me to answer these if the question doesn’t even make sense?!

4. I need brain food to survive this.

*eats a snack, gulps down water, then chews gum for brain stimulation*

5. OMG, I just did this whole problem using the wrong formula.

*Spends five minutes erasing entire sheet of paper.*

6. Is it A or B? They both look really similar.

7. I can’t believe I thought about dressing nicely for this or even using a pen. I’m not that perfect. Pff.

8. I wonder how other students are doing but I don’t want to look around because it can’t look like I’m trying to cheat. I just want to see if anyone else is suffering like meeee.

9. I’m just going to go with B. My Grandma said B is always the right answer. Or maybe it’s C. CRAP.

10. Why was none of this material in the study guide? This isn’t fair. I’m going to sue and throw a fit during her office hours.

11. *Goes to erase answer AGAIN and instead rips paper in half*

12. OK, I only have 30 minutes left and I haven’t finished the packet yet. Crunch time.

13. At the end of the test: I studied for eight hours every day for a week and feel like I know nothing. How is that possible!?

14. *Hands in a packet of tears, crumpled papers, and scribble marks on every question*

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.

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.
