10 Things To Do In Class Instead Of Pay Attention

As I'm sitting in class, obviously not paying attention, I thought "why not come up with a list of other great things to do in class?" Sure we're busy people, but procrastination often leads to some great discoveries elsewhere.

1. Figure out why Martha Stewart went to jail

Maybe I'm the only one, but I really had no idea she even went to jail until I saw a post about it. So of course I have her wiki page up. Honestly, just figure out why any celebrities went to jail.

2. Text your whoever's been on your radar

Nothing like a lil anxiety to make the time go by quicker! See what your boo is doing tonight and if those plans involve you. Also just text people you haven't talked to in forever, it'll kill the time.

3. Read Odyssey articles

See what I did there? Pass your time with a cliche yet fun open letter or better yet, a satirical political post.

4. Take BuzzFeed quizzes!!

My personal favorite. How else would I know what breakfast food I am?

5. Find out what dorms on your campus are haunted

Something you wouldn't always think about to do, but definitely a fun one!! (unless you live in one of the haunted dorms oops)

6. Watch those stupid and unrealistic "tasty" videos

Sure you'll never make any of the food, but at least you can dream.

7. Look up dank memes

Kermit, Obama & Biden, the world is at your fingertips

8. Sleep

If it's a big lecture nobody will notice. (Wear some sunglasses just to be safe)

9. Make a kick ass playlist for the weekend

I know what's on your mind, why not get pumped for the weekend while procrastination this class away?!

10. Look up unsolved crimes and solve them

This one may take a while, but check in to the different mysteries that still plague our society.

AI music threatens 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.

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.
