Your Semester In Popular Songs

"Drag Me Down" by One Direction

How you felt going into the semester. Living in the mindset where that fresh summer tan exists and where no professors, classes or 12-page research papers could drag you down.

"Confident" by Demi Lovato

How you felt after syllabus week. With fresh notebooks ready to be filled with notes and a new planner ready to help organize your life, you were ready to tackle the semester.

"Back To Back" by Drake

When you start skipping classes. You swore it would only be one class this week, but then that 30-minute power nap lasted over an hour. Oops.

"What Do You Mean" by Justin Bieber

There is a test today? You shouldn’t have skipped class. The syllabus doesn’t make sense anymore. Your notes are all scrambled. What is even going on in class anymore?

"Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap

When you start thinking about dropping out and the possibilities outside of college. It is midterms now and the rest of the semester seems bleak. Turning to trapping seems like the best option.

"Fight Song" by Rachel Platten

The song for after you have received your midterm grades and you realize that it is time to take back your life. When you’re trying to self-motivate because you had goals at the beginning of the semester.

"Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift

For when you realize that your hope for the semester is gone and you have to think realistically. That 4.0 GPA is just a dream and you need to figure out what percentage grade you need to get on your final exam to pass.

"Can’t Feel My Face" by The Weeknd

How you feel after finals week when you’re celebrating the end of the semester. You’ve accepted that "C's get degrees" mentality and there is nothing left that you can do for yourself but to live your life.

"Sorry" by Justin Bieber

For when your school sends your semester grades home and your parents realize that they’re paying a lot of money for some below average work.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.

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.
