12 Reasons You Need To Thank Your College Friends
Kirsten Condon

When people told me that college is where you truly meet your "forever friends," I didn't really take them that seriously, but now that I'm on my second spring break, I completely believe it. I really don't say that I appreciate them that much, but I really do. Here are 13 reasons why you should probably thank your college friends, just in case you forgot to before.

1. For being there when I need you

2. For driving me around everywhere, and allowing me to hijack your AUX chord

3. For always being down to get food or coffee

4. For motivating me to study when all I want to do is watch Netflix and do nothing


5. For all the adventures we’ve taken

Impromptu drive to check out the campus for next year, getting are cartilages pierced, drive to the beach, etc.

6. For taking care of me

Whether it’s when I get too stressed and break down, or when I just can’t hang

7. For knowing when it’s time to party

8. For getting me even when we may not all come from the same backgrounds, states, etc.

9. For sticking by me through all the bullshit that is college

10. For all the late night talks and laughs

11. For being honest with me, and making me be honest with myself

And calling me out on my bullshit

12. For being some of the best friends I've ever had

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.
