16 Things Every Quinnipiac Freshman Needs To Do Before Summer

No matter where anyone goes to school, every college student has a freshman bucket list. Where I attend school, at Quinnipiac University, this is our bucket list... I know I want to check off everything on my bucket list, will you?

1. ABL

No matter what season, take a picture of the beautiful and famous Arnold Bernard Library on the Quad!

2. Involvement Fair

Going to the fair because it's like Christmas with so many free gifts!

3. Sleeping Giant

That hiking trail across the street that everyone talks about...go do it. Sleeping Giant State Park is a place you won't regret hiking.

4. Hockey games


Go for a fun Friday/Saturday night at the T.D. Bank Center and enjoy some exciting hockey by our Bobcats!

5.YALE GAME

TRY AND ATTEND A YALE GAME!!! YOU WON'T EVER FORGET THIS DAY... THIS IS A DAY I KNOW I WILL NEVER FORGET!!

6. Talk to Java John


If he calls you by your first name without looking at your QCard than you know you're officially best friends...

7. Hep Creek

The gross looking pond behind Dana, Irma, Larson, and Perlroth is that gross lake at least one freshman ends up jumping in for some strange reason...

8. Chill on the Quad

Sitting on the Quad's grass during the fall or spring, is a freshman must.

9. Go sledding

Go sledding! But not your average snow day.... use the top of trash cans or better yet, trays from the cafeteria!

10. Toads


The place where every freshman goes wild...and sophomore, junior and senior...

11. All the pizza

What's better than a 2 a.m. call to Dominos, Tonino's, or maybe even Falcon/ Bobcat Pizza... YUM!

12. Saturday Night Shuttles

Every freshman needs to experience the shuttles to or from Toads at least once... You will never want to breathe on the shuttle again.

13. Greek Life/ clubs

Whether it is a sorority/ fraternity, the TV station at school, newspaper, SGA, Spanish club, yearbook, dance team or pep band getting involved at QU is tons of fun!

14. Ray and Mike's

Like Subway but 100,000 times better!!!! This is a must go!

15. Eli's on Whitney



The best place to eat on Whitney Av., right by school!

16. NYC/ Boston


Take a day trip with friends to NYC or Boston which is only an hour and a half away!

Hope all you freshman like me at Quinnipiac are enjoying every minute. Freshman year is sadly flying by too fast!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
