25 Thank Yous to My First College Friend

They say that lifelong friends are the ones you meet at this point in your life; however, it can be tough meeting new people in a setting where you can only recognize a few familiar faces. This new beginning would not have been as exciting if you hadn't been there for the bumps and bruises along the way. College life is definitely not a simple adjustment, but you made it a little bit easier. So naturally, I thought a thank you letter was necessary.

1. Thank you for pretending to like me at first, even though we barely knew each other

2. Thank you for accepting my weirdness once you truly got to know me

3. Thank you for sitting in the cafeteria with me so I didn't have to eat alone, even if you weren't hungry

4. Thank you for expanding my horizon by introducing me to your friends

5. Thank you for letting me climb up to the top bunk to cuddle, no matter the time of day

6. Thank you for being honest when my hair looked terrible

7. Thank you for listening to my detailed weekend stories each and every Sunday morning

8. Thank you for always being straight up with me, no matter the circumstance

9. Thank you for being the Troy to my Gabriella, and the London to my Maddie

10. Thank you for not judging me when I make use of my poor decision-making skills

11. Thank you for only being as far as a FaceTime call away

12. Thank you for keeping my secrets and trusting me with yours

13. Thank you for remaining to be one of my closest friends even though we ventured out and found different friend groups

14. Thank you for keeping me in the loop and sending me screenshots every time your crush texts you

15. Thank you for acting as if you were my mom whenever I was sick, which happened quite frequently to be honest

16. Thank you for being the most significant of my others

17. Thank you for being a sister to me, even though we joined different sororities

18. Thank you for always having my back, and for laughing right now because you know exactly which situation I'm referring to

19. Thank you for supporting the boy that all of my other friends despised

20. Thank you for letting your closet become my second closet

21. Thank you for taking endless ugly snapchats with me

22. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on

23. Thank you for dancing around the room with me in heels at 2 a.m.

24. Thank you for teaching me the importance of maintaining a real friendship

And most importantly:

25. Thank you for being the best partner-in-crime that I could have ever asked for to embark on this journey called college with me

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.

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.
