The Life Of A College Athlete As Told By Spongebob
Huffington Post

No matter how old you are, there's some things you can never seem to grow out of. Spongebob happens to be one of those things. Looking back, there's so many instances where Spongebob perfectly described my feelings and thoughts as an athlete. Seems like Spongebob is more relatable than I thought.

1. When you have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning for conditioning in January and it's only 20 degrees out.

I can't feel my body.

2. And after you finish your sprints, you can't breathe and you feel like your heart is going to pop out of your chest


What is happening?

3. But then your coach says "Get back on the line" and you just stand there trying not to cry.

Must. Not. Show. Fear.

4. When your running your sprints, you think about why you haven't thrown yourself off a cliff yet.

I feel like I'm dying.

5. "Just one more sprint and you're done!" -Coach

You sit on a throne of lies.

6. When you get to class, you have to fight to keep your eyes open.

Need caffeine now.

7. When you think about all the homework you have to do, on top of showering, sleeping, practice, and weight lifting.

Can I just focus on breathing?

8. When you look around at all the students who got a full eight hours of sleep when you barely got six.

Don't you dare tell me you're tired.

9. When school and sports just becomes too much and you have a mental breakdown

It's going to be just like 2007 Britney...the remix.

10. The moment when you're laying in bed thinking about all the things your coach is going to have you do at practice tomorrow

I would rather have nightmares of people chasing me with machetes.

11. When you get to practice and realize that it's going to be a fitness day

Well, crap.

12. When you finally get to eat after a really hard practice

My plate has never held so much food.

13. When your legs are so sore that you can't walk...

Can you roll me to class?

14. The "happy dance" you do when you realize it's the weekend and you have two days off

It's time to celebrate...with 15 hours of sleep and Netflix.

Who knew Spongebob and his friends were secretly athletes in their free time?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
