19 Thank Yous From The Average College Student
Idealist Careers

Every day us college students overlook the little things. We're usually always speaking but, how often do we say thank you for the little things? And I'm not talking the little things like someone holding a door for you, I'm talking the little things that add up to a majority of our lives.

Here are 19 little things us colleges students have to be thankful for:

1. To the friend who meal swiped me because I was broke and hungry

2. To Taco Bell for being open at 2am on a Friday morning.

3. To Uber for literally picking me up whenever and wherever I need it.

4. To the 48 ounces of coffee that I’ve consumed in two hours for keeping me awake.

5. To the mom friend for being far more responsible than the rest of us.

6. To theme parties for giving me a reason to dress insanely cute.

7. To Starbucks for being a life line.

8. To Capital One for giving me a credit card so I can afford 2am Taco Bell

9. To McDonald's for tasting amazing after 12 hours of classes

10. To my mom and all the toilet paper she has supplied thus far into the semester

11. To the kid who gave me your parking spot in the parking garage when I was already 10 minutes late to class

12. To the professor who cancelled class on a Thursday afternoon

13. To the professors who don’t count attendance into your final grade

14. To ibuprofen on a Saturday morning

15. To the friends who let me into the building when my ID is nowhere to be found.

16. To the cafe for feeding me even if it isn’t that great.

17. To Netflix for distracting me from the three essays I should be writing.

18. To anyone who gives out free food, your are the real MVP

19. To the friends who make this journey worth it

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.
