11 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friends
Olivia Frontiero

By definition a best friend is someone who makes your problems their problems, and is the closest person in your life apart from family. Like many others, I'm lucky enough to have more than one best friend. The best thing about having more than one best friend is that it's equivalent to a little family. Throughout my day there are things that I always want to thank my best friends for, but never really do. So this article is for my best friends. Thank you for all you do for me each and every day.

1. Telling me when I'm being stupid

2. Always lending me money

"I'll buy the pizza" is probably my favorite line.

3. Not judging how much I eat

"Always get 20 chicken nuggets, don't settle for 10."

4. Always disliking the people I dislike

It's important to have you're friends back, even if that means disliking someone who did nothing to you.

5. Being as weird as I am

It's the random weird noises that are my favorite.

6. Always knowing when something is wrong

You always know when I just need you to be there.

7. Always being honest with me--even when I don't want to hear it

I know sometimes I'm a lot to handle, so thank you for putting up with me and always telling me the truth.

8. Keeping all of my secrets

You're the only ones who know my secrets, so if the world finds out you're going down with me.

9. Telling me when a guy isn't good enough for me

You always tell me that I deserve so much more in life than Netflix and cats.

10. All the happy memories

11. Being YOU

There is so much more that I want to thank you for and I don't think I'll ever have the chance or the time to do so. Thank you for always supporting me and encouraging me to be the best that I can be. Thank you for all the drunken dance parties and heart to hearts. I know that these things may seem minuscule in the road of life, but these are the thinks that make me smile and get through the day. Thank you for loving me endlessly, even when you're sick of me because we spend way too much time together. I hope that this in some way shows you how much I appreciate you. Don't ever change and don't ever stop being in my life. A life without you guys in it is a life that I never want to encounter. So thank you for every little thing that you do for me along the way. I wouldn't be the person I am without each and every one of 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.
