10 Things I Thank My Sister For
Baleigh Hill

Sis,

There is a never ending list of things you've taught me and things I am thankful for. I don't know if I'll ever actually get to thank you for all the things you have done, but here I am putting ten things you've done into writing.

1. Thank you for never giving up on me.

I know I'm a pain in the ass all the time. Thank you for never letting me quit, even when I was at my lowest.

2. Thank you for sticking up for me.

From that kid on the soccer team to the mean girl in high school, you always have my back.

3. Thank you for being my number one fan.

Every decision I've made or club I wanted to join, you rooted me on. You helped make student council signs when in 5th grade I wanted to be class president, just like you, and even let me copy some of your speech.

4. Thank you for convincing mom to let me go out with that one boy.

I know he was stupid and not worth it, but thank you for telling mom that I would be fine and he "isn't that bad, just let her go." Even though that relationship didn't work out, it was fun while it lasted.

5. Thank you for enduring all my games and recitals.

I know that you had better things to do than spend your weekends watching me twirl on stage, kick a ball, or pretend like I knew anything about basketball. Also, thank you for showing me how to actually punt a soccer ball and shoot a free throw.

6. Thank you for letting me be mad.

We aren't perfect. Sometimes I just had to take my anger out on someone. And that, was usually you. Sorry.

7. Thank you for always coming back.

Thank you for never leaving me behind and coming back for me, even when you couldn't stand anyone else.

8. Thank you for giving me a real friend.

Being a little sister isn't always fun. Thank you for letting me tag along with your friends and showing me what friendships should look like and being my best friend.

9. Thank you for teaching me confidence.

Let's be honest, I haven't always been confident, but you always let me know that who I am is who I'm supposed to be. You showed me how to rock my style and not be afraid of who I really am.

10. Thank you for being my sister.

I couldn't have done any of this without you.

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.
