7 Reasons I Literally Can't Wait To Go Back To Houghton College

This summer has been a long one for me. I couldn't find a job, which left me with no structure in my day to day life. Based upon that all I've done this summer is read. Yes, reading is great, but I need more in my life! I want to see my friends every day. I want work. I want challenges. My summer at home has provided me with none of that, some of the things I'm excited to go back to college are...

1. My Friends

It has been unbelievably hard to go months without seeing some of my best friends. They are my support group who consistently make me laugh and I can't wait to see what new memories we create.

2. Walking

I miss walking everywhere on campus. I find it a pain to have to get in my car to get food or see a friend. I love being able to walk right out of my dorm to grab a snack and say "Hi" to a few people along the way.

3. Class

It's odd, I know, but I want to get back in the classroom! I love being challenged, so taking the max amount of credits was smart... right? I just love to learn new things.

4. Dorm Life

I'm moving to a different dorm this year, one which has the stigma of having more outgoing people living there. I'm excited to get out of my comfort zone an meet a lot more people. Plus I have two great new roomies that I can't wait to live with.

5. Houghton

Some people hate the small town experience, but I love it. Houghton may be in the middle of nowhere, but I like the fact that I don't have many distractions. The few distractions I have are the beautiful scenery surrounding me.

6. New People

I can't wait to meet new people. Whether it be freshman, transfers, or people I just haven't run into I can't wait to know you. Each person you know adds something to your life, which makes living on campus a blessing because you have so much added to your life.

7. Activities

Yes, a dry campus can still have fun! I love going to sporting events, and random little celebrations the college has. Homecoming will be soon and I have fond memories of it last year, I hope to make this one even better.

Wow I have so much adrenaline now. I want to move in tomorrow! Sadly I have to wait a month. I should also appreciate home and my family while I have it (and the good food). See you in a month friends!

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.
