The Week Before Spring Break

You're five days out, it feels like the longest week of your life.

The Week Before Spring Break
Spring Breakers

Through the years I have watched many crazy spring break videos online, and of course I have watched "Spring Break" with my wife Selena Gomez running around in a bathing suit all day and getting arrested by the cops. That movie was so weird, but that's besides the point. Here is how I feel the week before spring break, the much needed break of all college students.

Monday

You're five days out, and it feels like the longest week of your life. You keep checking the clock like it is magically going to change to Friday. You go to class just to look at pictures from last years spring break, wow you were so burnt, hopefully that doesn't happen again (happens again).


Tuesday

Congrats you made it one day closer. Tuesday is a little different than Monday just because you're in different classes, but the same thing happens: you look at old pictures, but this time you start to stalk Mapquest because, like every other broke college student, you are driving down to Florida. You think you find a faster way, you text the GroupMe labeled "spring break 2k16 b*tches" the debate in the GroupMe gets going and you spend all day on your phone and not paying attention in class.


Wednesday/Thursday

YOU'VE GOT A HUGE TEST, it creeped up on you even though you have it circled in your planner. Why, teacher, why did you plan a huge test the day before I leave for spring break. You really think it is a good idea to plan this? Cmon teach, you're going to get a bad review at the end of the semester. You cram right before your class and pass with a B. You go home to go the bed, you're almost ready to pass out but no you wake up like it is the middle of the day. You forgot to pack with all that cramming you were doing for the test. You throw everything into one bag and just call it done.


Friday

You skip all your classes to get on the road to wherever your party is going. You're halfway there and you forgot your toothbrush. Whatever, just a minor downfall into one of the best weeks of your life. No school, relaxing on the beach, what more can you ask for?

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.
