It's almost here! Move in fast approaches and here are my top picks for your absolute essential back to campus must haves!

10. Dunkin Donuts gift card.

Make sure you pick up one of these babies. Also, make sure to sync it to the Dunks app and pay for your orders through the app. You get points that add up to FREE COFFEE!

9. Mesh Shower Tote from Bed Bath & Beyond!

It comes in four super-cute patterns, AND it's only $12.99!

8. This Bean Bag Chair from Target.

Perfect for hanging out in your dorm, reading or working on a paper. This bean bag chair is $24.99, and orders over $25 ship for free!

7. This colorful and fun backpack from Amazon!

Perfectly sized to hold your laptop, charger, notebooks and pens! Also comes in a BUNCH of colors!

6. Rebecca Plaid Shirt Dress from Francesca's.

The perfect thing to throw on for your God awful 8 a.m., that doesn't include sweatpants and that T-shirt you've had since eighth grade.

5. This cool, color-changing iHome Bluetooth Speaker!

It changes color while you listen and is compatible with pretty much any Bluetooth-enabled device!

4. This handy Desktop Swivel Storage unit from The Container Store.

Get super-organized with this must have! Its the perfect way to store paperclips, rubberbands, et cetera OR the perfect place to store earrings and bracelets. Because, ya know, priorities.

3. Baked goods!

You heard me! There's no better way to welcome back your roomies and floormates (and bring a little bit of home with you) than to bring cookies, brownies or some other homemade snack with you! Plus, it's a great way to spend time with your family before you leave them for months. Here's a great cookie recipe to try out!

2. This Brita Filter Water Bottle.

It comes in this pattern, plus two other colors and is the perfect size! Plus, there's no need to worry about the water when you refill it because there's a filter inside! Crazy technology!

1. Your school's sweatshirt!

Especially helpful for those 8 a.m. classes when your Francesca's Plaid Shirt Dress (see above) is in the wash. You most definitely need a sweatshirt representing your school spirit!

Did you check everything off this list? I hope so!

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.
