What It Feels Like When The WIFI Goes Out

What it feels like when the WIFI goes down.

If you’ve never had your WIFI go out, knock on wood. My computer is on it’s last leg (after 5 years it’s probably time to lay her to rest) but I’m still holding out until graduation.

Today, my WIFI was down. I was shocked as to how many first-world-problem sentences came out of my mouth (or a least in my mind). To make light of this misery, that still honestly hasn’t been fixed yet, here’s what it feels like when the WIFI goes down.

Well, I guess I can’t do homework. Bummer. It’s a sign from God that Netflix is in order.

Oh. Netflix is out too.

Okay this might be the end, is everything saved?

Pull out the external hard drive.

Restart my computer.

I really should restart my computer more.

Eh.

That still didn’t fix anything.


WIFI WORK PLEASE


Ugh I guess I have to go to the BLUU…

Free coffee at the BLUU…

Free dinner at the BLUU…

The moment of truth… does the WIFI work at the BLUU?

SUCCESS.

*Working for four hours*

Wow I’m so productive, I deserve Netflix.

*Gets home*

*Opens laptop*

it STILL does’t work?!


UGH, see you in the morning BLUU…



**Update, my WIFI is up but my trackpad is out...

              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.

              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.
