Winter Travel: Tips To Live By

Alright, I know this is coming in the midst of one of the harshest weeks in the college school year but take this article as not a tool of procrastination but an honest and helpful look at winter traveling as we all get off campus in a few days!

1. Plan Ahead

Even if you are driving planning and looking at weather conditions and possible sources of traffic and checking your oil are essential! Do not be the person stranded on campus with an immovable car. The same goes for those of us who will be traveling by other means, make sure you actually have your boarding tickets and go the the airport prepared for it all!

2. Get to the Airport an hour earlier

Seriously, it might seem crazy but most winter breaks around the country are happening the weekend before Christmas, almost as busy a period as the day before Christmas!

3. Clean Out Your Mini Fridge

You know it has been gross for a while now; just take all that leftover pizza and fruit out and clean it!

4. Be careful about what you take back home

You might still be in fall break mode and want to take all your clothes home but realize when you get back to campus it will still be winter and those winter jackets you've got will be necessary to survive the new semester.

5. Wash your bed sheets

Get those bedsheets you have not washed since the beginning of the semester and actually wash them and put them away. A month is a long time for dust to sit on them so try to wash them and store them or just wash them when you get back (but remember when you get back in a month you will have a million other things to do other than worry about washing your sheets).

6. Clean your dorm

This might be a good time to re-feng shui your dorm and get it together so that your sense of zen can be one when you get back from a month long time of relaxation instead of walking in on an avalanche of a mess.

7. Throw away your toothbrush or take it with you!

One of two options, do it or face the consequences of the month long un-used toothbrush smell.

8. Empty your Hamper Completely

Wash all your clothes and leave your hamper empty for when you return ready to go!


9. Unplug Everything!

Back to the mini fridge; yes, you should unplug everything!

10. Relax and enjoy it all!

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.
