14 Thoughts You Have While Packing To Go Back To School

Packing is too overwhelming, can't I just have someone do it for me?

1. Why do I have so much stuff?

For some reason it is so easy to overpack. You think about everything you need and the list just keeps getting longer.

2. How is this going to fit into my car?

I have no idea how all of this is going to get to college, but I'll make it work. I will fill my car up to the roof if I have to.

3. Maybe I can leave some clothes.

We all think that we can part with some clothes, but what if we need them. It is necessary to have an outfit for every possibility even if it probably won't happen. But then again, I could need an outfit for a super elegant tea party.

4. Is this going to fit into my room at school?

If it barely fits in my car, how will it fit in my dorm?

5. How did I do this last year?

Maybe I had less stuff last time, or I was just really good at packing. Either way I have no idea how I did it.

6. Summer just started, how is it almost over?

I'm pretty sure summer break started like two weeks ago and now you're telling me I have to go back. Something doesn't seem right.

7. Maybe I can just drop out of school so I won't have to pack.

If I drop out then I won't have to sit here and try to pack my life into suitcases and boxes.

8. But I really want to see my friends.

If I do go back then I get to see my friends. I guess I can get through this packing then.

9. Oh, but what about all the school work I'm going to have to do?

Although I do get to see my friends, school work will be the death of me. I definitely do NOT want to go back to that.

10. OK that's it, I'll just drop out.

Fine it's decided. I can't pack anymore and I don't want to go to classes. At least I've found a solution.

11. I can't do that I've come this far.

But I only have two more years. I'm like halfway there. I guess I can try and stick it out just a little bit longer. Packing can't be that bad.

12. I'll finish packing and everything will be OK.

Alright I'll just finish packing and then I can relax and think about all the fun things about going back to school.

13. I'm finally done and there's no way I'm doing it again.

I don't know how it happened, but I'm finally done. Life is good. I made it through.

14. Now I can enjoy going back to school.

Time to go back to school and be on my own. I guess packing wasn't THAT bad.

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.
