The first few weeks of college in Michigan can be pretty brutal between the heat and humidity. This one-two punch makes it even harder to walk to class than it already is. Here is some commentary on what it feels like to walk to class when it's 80+ degrees and 90% humidity.

I just got out of the shower and I am already sweating profusely.

Why don't dorm rooms have air conditioning?!

Do I have to wear clothes?

Can I just go in my bathing suit?

Fine, I'll wear pants... But I won't like it!

How am I sweating this much? There are three fans blowing on me! I haven't even left yet!

Alright, here I go... Hope I don't burst into flames.

If I burst into flames, maybe I'll automatically pass all my classes.

The light! It burns! Where are my sunglasses?

I bet I look so cool now.

Okay, twenty steps down, half a mile to go.

Why are my headphones always tangled, I just want to listen Iggy Azalea? No one will ever know.

And I got caught.

Whatever, I don't care.

If I'm going to be sweaty, I'm at least going to rock out.

Okay, maybe I care a little bit.


MOTHER... of pearl. That car almost hit me! That jerk! Watch where you're... wait, I have a test next week... Never mind! Come back and hit me! You can have all thirteen cents I have in my pocket!

Ugh, he drove away. I guess I have to take that test now.

Oh my god, I am sweating so much, it's so sticky out here. I want to lay down on the ground right here.

I wonder if I tried to hitch hike if someone would pick me up.

I wonder if someone picked me up if they would immediately kill me or wait a few minutes and then kill me.

My mom would be so disappointed in me if I died trying to hitch hike to class.

I wonder how much a mop costs.

I wonder if the bro comes with the ped or if you have to acquire the bro for your bro-ped separately.

Someone's gotta ask the big questions.

Oh my god, I can see it, my building. It's beautiful! It has air!

This is the greatest moment of my young life, I'm finally standing in air conditioning.

I feel gross.

Oh well, everyone else looks gross too.

I wonder if I could make the argument that these conditions are bad for my educational experience.

Note to self: google that.

AI music threatens creativity

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

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

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.
