5 Things I Want To Tell My Best Friends
Kaitlyn Rourke

1. I love you!

Honestly, this should go without saying. We've been together since elementary school and nothing can tear us apart! And if we wanted to get rid of each other, we couldn't! Remember that time I said I would enter an open marriage with you for financial stability? The offer still stands.

2. I'm sorry that I'm a busy person!

I've never found a gif that resonates with me more than that one. As I write this, I'm in Business Finance trying to learn about the time value of money, but all I can think about is how my two jobs, being a resident assistant, class, homework, and trying to have a social life makes me want to die. Thank you for trying to understand my pain. Please don't think that I'm ignoring you! I'm here for you whenever you need me!

3. Life is moving forward, but I'll always need you!

Adulthood is sinking its claws into us and pulling us our separate ways. We're spread out by almost 200 miles, going to college, working jobs, and I'm moving in with my boyfriend this coming summer. You guys will always be the Samwise to my Frodo... Now let's go into Mordor!

4. I miss you!

To go from living with each other to being 200 miles apart isn't easy. I miss our random Walmart trips, Domino's road trip adventures, and days spent indoors watching Game of Thrones and reducing our TBR book pile. I may have my amazing friends that I met in college, but they don't have the history that we do.

5. Thank you!

Thank you for dealing with my shit. Thank you for staying. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for sharing wonderful memories with me. Thank you for all the times you listened to me rant. Thank you for being there when I needed you.

P.S. Shout out to my bitches Kelsey and Myheisha for harassing me for a best friend article! I hope you enjoy!

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.
