There is no better experiment in college than living with somebody you barely know in a 15x15 room. It is either an equation for disaster or a perfect match. Luckily for some, myself included, my second roommate happened to be the perfect match. More often than not, we forget to thank our roommates for all things they do (and don't do). So here are a few things we constantly forget to thank them for:

1. Thanks for having a not-so-good first roommate relationship. If you had an amazing one, we would not be roommates today.

2. Thanks for having an awesome closet and sharing those awesome clothes.

3. Thanks for always saying "yes" to late night pizza or any late night snacks.

4. Thanks for not judging me when I decide to not leave my bed all day.

5. Or when I decide to not shower.

6. Thanks for always being down to drink. No matter the weather or time of day, I can always count on you to be my drinking buddy.

7. Thanks for staying up late, for being my study buddy.

8. Thanks for not yelling at me when I take too long to get ready.

9. Thanks for being an amazing bartender.

10. Thanks for listening to all my problems. Whether they are school related or family related, you know it all.

11. Thanks for knowing exactly who I mean when I say "I saw my boyfriend today."

12. Thanks for eating with me so I don't have to eat alone.

13. Thanks for cleaning up the mess when half of it wasn't even yours.

14. Thanks for letting me use your curler, straightener or blow dryer because it was already plugged in.

15. Thanks for bringing out the best in me, while also accepting my worse.

16. Thanks for making our living space a judge-free zone.

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.
