Being a commuter student isn't easy.

Being a commuter student isn't easy but there are some things only you and commuter students

understand.

1. You hate getting ready for school!

If you're like me waking up at 6 am in the morning is no fun to get to school on time for your 8 am class.

2. You somehow end up on a rigid schedule for your classes and friends.

I don't know how I started on a such a schedule. I wake up at 6 am leave my house by 7 am to commute 45 minutes to school. After 12 pm, any free time I have gets dedicated to homework and studying. I also try to squeeze in as many times as I can to hang out with friends.

3. You hate having to stay on campus all day.

When I'm on campus all day, it takes such toll on me the next day. I try to limit the number of nights I stay on campus all day. But there are some days I can't control this. On the bright side, it leaves me with more time to study during those long days.

4. Water Fountains become your best friends, and you search for cold fountains on campus.

When I first came to college, I thought I didn't need a water bottle, but that quickly changed the first week of school. Since started school, I have gone through three water bottles. The bottle that I ended up sticking with is my TAL waterbottle. It is just the right size and keeps my water cold all day.

5. You find yourself wanting to sleep in, but you know have to get to school.

There are days I want to sleep in but I know I have to get up and get a move on to get to class. I guess you can say I'm working for the weekend.

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.
