Although school is looking a little bit different these days, we can still make the most out of it by preparing with some of these essential items by our side throughout the semester.

1. A Planner

You may not think you are as busy this fall, but whether you are busy or not a planner is always a must-have in terms of organization.

2. Cozy Blankets

My apartment always gets so cold so for me, I always have a blanket by my side. Also, blankets make sitting on your computer for long hours a day much comfier.

3. Snacks

If you have to listen to a long lecture, might as well sit back and grab a some a few to go with it.

4. Laptop charger

Zoom will drain your battery quite fast so, you will want to have a charger by your side just in case.

5. Coffee... lots of coffee

Even if you do not have to get up super early for class, sitting and staring at the computer for a couple hours will make you tired rather quickly.

6. AirPods/Headphones

If you are in a place with other people or roommates, it may be important to have these by your side as you tune into your class.

7. Lots of comfy clothes

Since there's not a whole lot of need to dress to impress, you might as well stock up on leggings or other comfort clothes of choice.

Although this list may not be too long, these are some items that I have found to be the most useful to me throughout the past two weeks of surviving online school and may be for you too!

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.
