Winter Break, As Told By "New Girl"
Kevin Foyle

Winter break has a lot going for it. Christmas for one is the best holiday's ever. You get tons of presents and eat tons of cookies and nothing is better than that. Hanukkah sounds cool too, 8 days of presents. You really can't go wrong with presents. New Years is about celebrating with friends and all that good stuff. But when you are in college and come home, winter break lasts FOREVER. A whole month of boredom. You aren't going out all the time like you are at school, you don't have anything you need to be doing and I can bet that there isn't anything super interesting to do in your town. It is high school all over again. It can be good though, lets not be debbie downers. Holidays are the shit. Anyway this is how most college kids winter breaks end up going.

When you sleep in your room by yourself the first night back...

When your relatives ask you about how your first semester was...

When you try to wrap your presents...

When you are reunited with your home friends once again...

When you get way to into the christmas spirit...

When you get all of the presents you wanted...

When you can't get away from your relatives...

When you get the squad together for New Years...

When you see the that one boy from high school at the New Years Eve party...

When New Years hits you too hard...

How bored you are once the big holidays are over...

Not having to eat dorm food for a whole month...

When you see the people from high school that you hate...

Saying goodbye to your home friends until the summer on the outside...

Saying goodbye to your home friends on the inside...

When you can't handle being at home any longer...


Have a good winter break everybody!

P.S. Happy Holidays!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
