First Week of School Freshman Year Vs. Junior Year
MSS Media

The first week of college seems like a huge deal freshman year. You probably worried about every little detail from finding your classes, making sure you had the textbooks, and what you were going to wear. After you get the hang of it though, you start to care less about being super prepared and impressing your peers, and more about when you can squeeze your next nap in. By junior year, you've got it all you aren't even worried about whether you'll get a good seat, and you know spending more than 5 minutes on your is pointless because it'll sweat off anyway on the walk to campus. Here's what the first week of classes freshman year vs. junior year.

1. Packing for Move in Day

Freshman Year

Spends two weeks packing everything you own, just in case.

Junior Year

Waits until the last minute and now you're shoving everything into your suitcase

2. Saying Goodbye to Your Parents

Freshman Year

The Feels

Junior Year

Well no need to linger, peace out mom and dad...

3. Buying Textbooks

Freshman Year:

They're on the syllabus, that means I need to buy all of them


Junior Year

$200 for one text book? Yeah, right.


4. Getting up for the first day of classes

Freshman Year

*Gets up 2 hours before your first class*

Junior Year

*Presses snooze 17 times and wakes up 20 minutes before you have to leave*

5. Getting Ready for class

Freshman Year

Need to find the perfect shade of lipgloss to match your backpack

Junior Year

Everyone's already seen you during finals week anyway

6. Walking to Class

Freshman Year

Being late on the first day might be the most embarrassing thing ever

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.

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.
