8 Reasons Why Spring is the Best Season on College Campuses

That's right. I said it. Spring rocks. You may be thinking, Hannah how could you say spring is the best season on a college campus? Everyone knows fall is the real winner here. Well, I am here to tell you that you are wrong. Very, very wrong. Wondering why spring is the best? Well here you go.

1. People actually start to go outside again.

During the long and treacherous winter months, hardly anyone goes outside unless necessary. Your entire body will completely freeze otherwise, why risk it when you can stay inside and binge watch friends? As soon as it hits 50 degrees though, you realize there actually are more than 20 people at Ball State. Everyone walks outside to get to class instead of taking indoor shortcuts, and not to mention there's people hanging hammocks from trees, because why not?

2. St. Patrick's Day.

Even if you're not Irish (I'm like a fourth Irish. Niall Horan, I'm coming for you) you still celebrate St. Patrick's Day, because who doesn't like to dress in all green and have an excuse to go to a party in the middle of the week?

3. Baseball season starts.

Let's be honest, even if you are not a fan of baseball, everyone is a fan of baseball boys. Am I right, ladies?

5. Concert season begins.

Concert season is upon us people! The best concerts are usually in the summer, but they start popping up again when it hits spring, and who doesn't like concerts?

6. Spraaang break.

Time to go spend your life savings in Frat Lauderdale or PCB! Or, maybe you were like me and didn't get to go somewhere super awesome and cool for spring break. I personally stayed in 40 degree Illinois and annoyed my dog. Either way, you get a week off from classes and that's just great.

7. Longer days.

An extra hour in the day can never hurt. More time to get your millions of assignments done. Or more time to procrastinate on those assignments. It's a win win.

8. Dogs. Everywhere.

Do I even have to explain myself? Warm weather equals dog walking, which means dogs everywhere. There are an endless amount of dogs on campus to pet and to try to sneak into your dorm.

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.
