Top 10 Things I Am Looking Forward To Most This Winter Break

We made it! Finals are done, papers are submitted, winter break is finally upon us. And it is well-needed, I might add. We think a 4 month semester is a long time, yet how did we ever survive a whole year of high school?


Here are the top things on my mind while I drive home to enjoy these next few weeks off...

10. Trips to NYC

What's a holiday season without a nice day in the city or picture in front of the tree to post on Instagram?

9. Home Cooked Meals

I don't know about you, but I am definitely sick of eating the same old dining hall food each day.


8. Back to the Gym

Damn, all that time sitting at my desk studying this semester has really made me out of shape.


7. Catching up on Netflix

To my favorite series; don't worry, well be together again soon.


6. Catching up on SLEEP!

Ugh, I missed my own bed so much. WHAT?! I can finally turn off all my alarms?


5. Sitting by the Fire with Hot Chocolate

Especially rewarding after a long day out in the cold or snow!



4. Traveling

I can't wait to escape this cold weather!


3. Gifts & Holidays

This will never get old.


2. Spending time with friends and family that I haven’t seen in awhile.

Reunited and it feels so good.


1. NOT having school work to do!


Imagine that!!!

Sounds amazing, time to relax and do absolutely nothing...

Yeah, until I'm bored and wishing I was back at school!


However you choose to spend your break, make it a great one! Know that next semester brings a fresh start. Stay safe, warm, stress-free and have a happy holiday!

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.
