How We All Feel At The End Of Winter Break

We know this feeling all too well.

Someone give me a one-way ticket to the Bahamas because Christmas break is days away from being over and I refuse to believe it. I can't even force myself to look at my class schedule and go buy more notebooks. Homework, essays and exams? No, thank you. I don't think I'm alone on this "no, please... don't let winter break be over" train of thought, so here are some internal feelings we all face when we realize the next semester is rearing its ugly head.

Finally reuniting with your best friends.

Time to order pizza and pick up where we left off on our Netflix binge watching.

Friend: "Are you ready for class on Wednesday?"
Me: "Class starts, like, two weeks from now."
Friend: "Class definitely starts on Wednesday."

Me:

AKA, the moment you realize your New Year's resolution to not wait until the last minute to prepare for things has already been thrown out the window.

Checking your class schedule and realizing you thought it'd be a good idea to sign up for 18 credit hours this semester.

Is is never a good idea.

Looking at the class list and realizing you have a class with your best friend.

Time to terrorize a professor and force your friend to let you use their notes when you don't want to show up.

When the person you secretly hates tells you you have a class together.

Great, now I have to figure out how to discreetly drop the class.

Checking out your syllabus and seeing your professor assigned 4 essays, 5 exams, weekly reading and homework assignments. Oh, and attendance is required.

Bye, Felicia.

When class starts tomorrow and you realize your winter break is officially over.

Still waiting for that one-way ticket to the Bahamas, guys... Anyone?

Good luck to everyone going back to school soon!

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.
