The 7 Deadly Sins Of Syllabus Week

Syllabus week is the only time during the semester when you have 15 minute classes and get to go out every night and not regret it. After a break that seems like it lasted forever, you and your friends are ready to reconnect with everyone and actually have a social life. Many will agree that the seven days of syllabus week can actually be connected to the seven deadly sins. Let's analyze this.

Day 1: Gluttony

It's the first night you and your friends are back at school, and you are ready to consume as much alcohol as you can handle—or I should say, as much as you think you can handle. Take it easy, especially considering you have six more nights to do the same thing.

Day 2: Wrath

You overdid yourself last night and have an intense hangover. You are extremely angry at yourself because you know you have the entire week ahead of you. Fluids and naps will get you through it!

Day 3: Lust

It's 2:30 a.m. and you can't stop thinking about being with him. His buns are so soft and you can't wait to squeeze them. He's so juicy and tastes just right at any time of the day. He can be found at your local deli and is often known as a bacon, egg, and cheese. (BEC > guys)

Day 4: Sloth

It's the middle of the week, and you have hit a wall. You find yourself in bed unable to get up because you are so drained. You attempt to go to the gym and find yourself sweating alcohol. Take a nap and get ready for the next three nights ahead.

Day 5: Greed

You find yourself scrolling through Instagram and seeing that everybody's outfits have truly been on point. You look in your closet and realize you have nothing to wear for the next two nights. You immediately text your friends begging to borrow one of their outfits because you obviously need to look good for the rest of the week.

Day 6: Pride

You have made it through syllabus week without dying, and you are so proud of yourself. You have one more night, and you are ready to celebrate this amazing achievement.

Day 7: Envy

Syllabus week is sadly over at your school, and you are extremely jealous of the kids who are now starting their syllabus week. It's time for you to actually start doing work. And let's just say that you are definitely not happy about it.

Even though it may seem like all the fun is gone, the semester has just begun. Be sure to make this a good one—you won't regret it!

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.
