After three months of being away from your home away from home, you know that it’s time to celebrate accordingly. If you don’t know what welcome week is, or have yet to experience it, I’ll give you a little glimpse of what one of the best weeks in college is like.

The Greatest Reunion Ever

After not seeing some of your best friends for a while, you can finally reunite and can pick up from where you started. Catching up is much needed.

New Faces

You get to meet all the incoming freshman, transfer students, and others you have never seen before.

An Excuse to Drink

It’s kind of like an annual holiday for college students, so yes alcohol just might be involved. (Yes, yes it will.)

Mini Vacation

You get this week to not have the stress with school, and to have a little down time before classes actually begin.

There Is Always Something

Just look out your window and follow the crowd of freshman and I’m sure it will lead you somewhere where Lil Yachty is playing.

You Just Can’t Say No

I’m talking about if you get asked to that party, GO. I promise Netflix will still be there when you get back.

A Constant Cycle Of Fun

You wake up, do all the fun things college students do which I probably shouldn’t mention in this, go to sleep, repeat.

The Memories

I still look back and laugh at all the moments from last welcome week, and I am HYPE to create new ones this year. They are unforgettable ones that you will cherish throughout the school year and always.

Everyone Is Happy

It is almost impossible to not be smiling during this week.


So for all of you incoming freshman, get ready for one of the best weeks of your life to kick-off the best years of your life too. Returning college students, you know what to do. Party accordingly, be safe, and always get that Uber. Cheers to the 2017-2018 school year.

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.
