The Top 4 Best Aspects Of Back To School

Late August, early September is a special time of year for most people. It is SCHOOL TIME! Whether you are a kid going back to elementary, middle or high school, a young adult going to college, or a parent going to college themselves or sending their own youngsters back to school everybody needs to be prepared. Being the nerd that I am I love going back to school. Here are the top 4 things that are amazing about going back to school.

1. Seeing Friends

Whether or not you are in secondary school or college coming back to the friends that you maybe have not been able to see or hang out with all summer is the best feeling. You get to spend so much time catching up with them about each of your summers. The friends that are with you throughout your years of schooling are a big part of what keeps you going. Reconnecting with them or meeting new people in general is key.

2. School Shopping

One of my favorite things about going back to school is shopping for school supplies and sometimes new clothing. I love to go back to school with fresh pens, and crisp new notebooks. I usually pick out one notebook for each class and am so excited to use the cute notebooks I pick. I usually load myself up with more packages of pens than I could ever use, but you'd be surprised how many pens you'll loose throughout the school year.

3. Starting New Classes

This is more so for college students because we often are picking mostly all classes that we are interested in to complete our major. But for me, going back to school means I get to start all of the classes that I was so excited about taking when picking them a few months before.

4. You're closer to the end!

My last and final reason for loving the back to school season is that in reality going back to school means you are moving closer to being done. Even if you're a freshman and just starting, the sooner you start school the faster it will go. People like to say high school goes by fast especially after Christmas, college goes by even faster. Soon you will be able to graduate and start the next amazing chapter in your life.

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.
