Your Guide To Finals Studying (From Santa's Reindeer)

Around finals time, everyone has an opinion on how to study best. We hear advice from our parents, professors, and upperclassmen. Since this time of year also marks the Christmas season, however, why have we not thought to ask some of Santa's helpers how to ace our exams? Reindeer might not take finals, but they pull the ultimate all-nighter -- flying around the world delivering toys -- with no caffeine (that we know of).

Dasher

Dasher thinks you should go to the gym instead of studying. He also wants you to know he has the best quads of all the reindeer.

Dancer

Dancer suggests you watch "The Nutcracker," go to a semiformal, or create an interpretive dance to learn orgo. She's also the one who convinced StudCo to add dance groups to LOTL.

Prancer

Prancer knows you won’t have the confidence to prance into the career center without a good GPA, so he suggests you go to a library and actually study there. You have to prance there and back though.

Vixen

Vixen wants you to look like a vixen, so she suggests you watch YouTube tutorials on eyeliner and then flirt with your TA to score an A. She also looks better than you always even though she's a reindeer.

Comet

Comet recommends you study for astronomy and forget everything else. He's also bffs with Professor Murphy and Santa is a little jealous.

Cupid

Cupid feels that UVA Crushes is the best use of your study time. He suggests you go to whichever library your crush frequents and pretend to study while you fall in love. If that fails, he suggests you download Tinder and watch "Love, Actually."

Donner

(PSA: This picture is supposedly from a version of "Rudolph" featuring Donald Trump.)

Donner has embraced his name recently and encourages you to join Donald Trump’s campaign. He believes studying is most effective when done while combing The Donald's toupee.

Blitzen

Blitzen is a crammer, so he suggests you wait until the last minute and rush through all your studying right before the exam. In addition to being a realist, Blitzen likes 5-Hour Energy with his Christmas cookies.

Rudolph

Rudolph suggests you study at night so that his nose can be your flashlight. During the day, he wants you to watch "Bridesmaids" instead of Christmas movies since Maya Rudolph is actually his cousin.

Turns out Santa's reindeer give bad study tips. I suggest you take Prancer with you to Chem and leave the others to delivering presents.

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.
