You Know You're A Student Teacher When...
Teaching Arts

Every education major dreams of-- or has nightmares about-- their professional semester of student teaching. After 120 hours of observations and several college courses the time finally comes and we are sent on our way to our first day at a new school. Student teaching is a wild ride that you can only understand by experiencing it for yourself, and you often find yourself saying and doing things your friends in other programs just don’t understand. You often find yourself thinking

“You know you’re a student teacher when…”

Here are some of those moments:

You know you’re a student teacher when you start shopping for “teacher clothes” instead of club clothes.



You know you’re a student teacher when going out later than 10:00pm seems like a crazy night.


You know you’re a student teacher when you’re tracing and cutting out pieces to a project while your friends are writing papers.

You know you’re a student teacher when everything you do seems like a “teachable moment.”


You know you’re a student teacher when your Teachers Pay Teachers searches become more frequent than your Facebook use.



You know you’re a student teacher when you could identify an objective and blooms level for any possible activity on the spot.


You know you’re a student teacher when “you’ll never guess what my student said/did today” is always the first thing out of your mouth.


You know you’re a student teacher when your friends get annoyed by your “teacher voice”, which at this point is second nature.


And you know that when this semester is over, you’ll be ready to get out there and find a classroom of your own!

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.
