I know there are wayyyy more than ten things to do while you wait for your flight in an airport but give me a break, we just finished finals, my brain is dead.

1. Write a list of things to do while bored at the airport

Yep, I 100% am writing this as I wait to board the plane.

2. People watch

I mean what else is better than people watching, especially at the airport?

3. Buy ridiculously overpriced snacks that you might not even need

Let's face it, you're going to buy them anyways.

4. Go through and look at every single picture on your phone

Now you can finally delete some so that you can stop pushing "okay" when your phone says you're running out of storage.

5. Take a nap

Just don't miss your flight.

6. Netflix

The same thing many of us do every day, only now it's at an airport.


7. Finish your homework

If you, unfortunately, have assignments due after your finals, FINISH THEM! You and I both know it's going to be 1000x harder to do once you get home.

8. Think of all you will do over break

You gotta have some sort of fun plan for Christmas break right?

9. Shop

Find some souvenirs from the city you're in, maybe some last minute Christmas gifts.


10. Fill out those evals for your profs that you've been putting off for weeks now

How many times have you clicked, "later" for these things?

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.
