13 Things I Need To Thank My Best Friend's Family For

We all have that one best friend who we’ve known for what seems like forever, and over the years we’ve grown to know not only them but their entire family. They are the family who has helped shape your life in more ways than one and are always there for you no matter what. His or her parents become your second parents, and his or her siblings become your extra siblings. And soon enough, you blend into their family like you were one of their own. You can’t imagine your life without them apart of it and are thankful for them every single day. Although there are countless things I wish I could thank my best friend’s family for, here are 13.

1. Thank you for making me feel like apart of the family as your extra child.

2. Thank you for letting me tag along on countless family vacations.

3. Thank you for buying me a cake on my birthday and surprising me at your house.

4. Thank you for encouraging me to attend my dream university.

5. Thank you for putting up with me during my awkward stage, because we know those were a rough few years.

6. Thank you for taking us places before we learned how to drive.

7. Thank you for adding an extra plate at dinner because you already knew I was staying.

8. Thank you for all the sleepovers topped with donuts in the morning.

9. Thank you for letting me have a key to your house, even if you didn’t know my best friend has given it to me.

10. Thank you for all the memories, some of the best are spent with you.

11. Thank you for inspiring me everyday; you’re some of the most gracious people I know.

12. Thank you for being there for me when life seemed hard.

13. Thank you for giving me the best friend I could have ever asked for.

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.
