Being an RA is quite a rewarding job! I love it, in fact! But I also very much enjoy when a song from a musical comes to mind in some... well... interesting situations!


1. First 3 weeks of school be like...

Song lyric: "Getting to know you, getting to know all about you"

Musical: the King and I


2. Working in the Freshmen girls' dorm... You can imagine!

Song lyric: "Little girls, little girls, everywhere I turn..."

Musical: Annie


3. You look at me like I'm insane when I tell you, "Just snake your drain, it's super easy and much easier than waiting for maintenance to unclog your shower."

Song lyric: "Mother isn't here now..."

Musical: Into the Woods


4. When you come to my room past 12:00 because you got locked out AGAIN!

Song lyric: "So long, farewell!"

Musical: Sound of Music


5. When some residents just don't understand the concept of Quiet Hours!

Song lyric: "Listen to the music of the night."

Musical: Phantom of the Opera


6. When I forget to hand out toilet paper, I sure hope y'all sing this song!

Song lyric: "I'm willing to wait for it..."

Musical: Hamilton


7. When I overhear people complaining about living on the 3rd floor with no elevator.

Song lyric: "Climb every mountain!"

Musical: Sound of Music


8. When girls be missing their boyfriends that go to other schools.

Song lyric: "He's not here, he's not here, love, I know you know..."

Musical: Next to Normal


9. When you never ask about me...

Song lyric: "You, and you, and nothing but you!"

Musical: Last Five Years


10. When I just want to hang out, but you're not feeling it.

Song lyric: "Close every door to me..."

Musical: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat


11. I promise I'm just another college student like you! But sometimes you intimidate me a bit... So when I awkwardly stumble over my words, it's all good! I promise I'm not that weird.

Song lyric: "When words fail, what will I do?"

Musical: Shrek


12. After being so intimidated of you all year, I finally try to talk to you 1-on-1 and it goes great!

Song lyric: "I am so much better than before!"

Musical: Legally Blonde

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.
