15 Things To Thank Your Roommates For
Facebook: Lauren Sprankle

Dear Roomies,

As the semester comes to a close and we all go our separate ways I just wanted to thank you for a few things.

1. Thank you for watching obsessive amounts of "Grey's" with me.

From season one to season seven, you've been there sitting next to me on the couch laughing and crying with me every step of the way.

2. Thank you for not yelling at me when I forgot to do my dishes.

You are so understanding when I've been gone all day and just want to come home and relax.

3. Thank you for making baked goods almost every week.

Thanks for making it so hard to be on a diet when there are so many delicious cookies and cupcakes sitting in our dessert corner.

4. Thank you for not judging me when my room was a mess.

Because we all have those stressful weeks when you can't see the floor of your room.

5. Thank you for letting me borrow everything.

Your clothes, food, drying clothes rack, perfume and nail polish...the list goes on and on.

6. Thank you for participating in family dinners.

And for being OK with having Mexican food every time...

7. Thank you for letting me sleep in on the weekend.

Sleeping in on the weekends is a reward for getting through the week and I'm so glad you understand that.

8. Thank you for loving my family.

You are always just as excited as I am to get a FaceTime call from one of my cousins and want to know all about their lives and when they're coming to visit next.

9. Thank you for making birthdays so special.

From singing at midnight to going out to dinner to having dance parties, you make birthdays the best.

10. Thank you for letting me whine and drink wine with you.

You are always there when I get home to drink wine and whine over all the stress college brings.

11. Thank you for always encouraging me to do what I love.

I can't thank you enough for being interested in what I want to do with my life and being proud of me for working so hard.

12. Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick.

Whether it's buying me Kleenex, making me Chicken Noodle Soup, lending me one of your Gatorades or giving me some Advil you have always helped take care of me when I'm sick.

13. Thank you for not complaining when I want to take pictures.

And we all know I take a lot of pictures...

14. Thank you for being there for me when I need support.

Because who else would hold my hand in the haunted barn or make me brownies when my boyfriend and I broke up?

15. Thank you for living with me.

Thank you for picking to room with me and giving me the chance to grow closer to you each day as we navigate our way through this crazy thing called life.

Love,

Your Roomie

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
