30 Thoughts I've Had Moving In As A Second Year

Move-in weekend has come and gone in Hooville, and classes are finally starting. While all of the first years are completely lost, second years are doing a pretty good job at pretending that we have everything figured out. Here's some thoughts that I've had moving in as a Second Year.

1. The first years look so confused...

2. Wait, I have to cook now?

3. At least I can lose the Freshman 15.

4. "I'm a firs-I mean second year."

5. Thank goodness I don't have to go to all of those first year meetings again.

6. Is this apartment really all mine?

7. So, I'm not sharing this bathroom with ten other people?

8. Maybe I should go grocery shopping...

9. I'm so glad I finally have some space to myself.

10. But I do miss my suitemates...

11. We should have a suite reunion!

12. I feel like I should have my life together since I'm not a first year.

13. At least I know where everything is.

14. I still can't believe that I can have a car.

15. Is it weird to pack your lunch for school?

16. I have a feeling the bus system will be my best friend this year.

17. Oh my gosh this bathroom is huge!

18. Wait, I have to actually clean the bathroom.

19. I want to see everyone else's apartments!

20. There better not be any random fire alarms in the middle of the night in this apartment. (shoutout to CDF)

21. I have so many boxes to unpack, I don't even know where to start.

22. I'm really going to miss walking to Runk for an omelet.

23. First thing on my to do list: go see the Rotunda.

24. I wonder how far the walk is from here to the Corner...

25. Is this what being an adult feels like?

26. I'm going to Crossroads at 2AM just for old time's sake.

27. Okay, what should I eat for dinner?

28. Now I regret complaining about O'Hill dinner.

29. By this time last year, I had played 25 ice breaker games.

30. I can't believe I'm already a second year.

Welcome back class of 2019!

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.
