What I Will Miss Most About College Over Winter Break

As break is almost upon us, everyone is becoming more and more excited to be done with finals and classes for the semester and have a much-deserved break from school work and stress. While I am looking forward to not having class, there is one thing that I will miss the most about going home for the holidays: my college friends.

Over the past few months, you start to grow accustomed to spending most of the day with your friends and doing anything and everything together; from going to get meals to taking random road trips together, my college friends make it worth all of the stress over classes and homework.

Being able to go up or down the stairs at any time and know that I will be able to see at least one of my friends is so comforting. Whether its to simply just hang out or order an obscene amount of pizza and watch movies until 2 AM, this is something that I'll really miss when I'm back home.

Whenever we hang out together, everything is more fun. From making fun of the strange people we see at the dining hall to attempting to do the condom challenge for the 50th time, there's never a dull moment when we're together.

Simply sitting together and laughing about anything and everything and sharing stories of our days is something that I look forward to each day. Not being able to have friends almost constantly by my side to talk to and laugh with will be hard to get used to for the next month, but it just makes the spring semester something to look forward to even more.

Our adventures, laughs, and memories have made this semester one that I will remember for a long time to come. Thank you for having my back no matter what and loving me for all of my flaws: my crazy personality, my annoying habits, and my little quirks that you have all come to know and deal with over the past few months.

Thank you for your support and love that you have given me. Thank you for giving me wonderful memories that I will never forget. Our friendship means more to me than you will ever know, and I'm so thankful to have you all in my life. Though winter break will be difficult without you by my side, it'll go by faster than we are willing to admit.

I already can't wait to make more memories with you next semester.

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.
