9 Things I Need to Thank My Roommate For..

Even though we're only into the second week of classes my roommate has made me realize so much. I can be best friends with someone who has a different background than me. Even if I'm a mess, she's a mess too. Being a bitch isn't always a bad thing, and so so so much more.

So there are 12 things I need to thank you for my dear:

1. Thank you for being the shoulder to bitch to when people get on my nerves. This isn't only referring about school work, but people, the food, professors, even our friends. I was never given this much moral support during high school.

2. Thank you for your undying love of cats and Hoodie Allen. If it wasn't for you I probably would've never known how wonderful he truly was. As for the cats, when you show me the pictures of your cats, it just reminds me of mine, and how I still need to convince my dad to bring my cat and dog to visit us!

3. Thank you for being the best friend I've been waiting for. For being the person to shut me the hell up when I've been bitching all day. No one has ever had the courage in a friendship to do so.

4. For being the person to remind me that no matter how messy my side of the room can get, your side can only be worse. Because believe me, my room at home is never this clean. EVER.

5. For not judging me when I snooze my alarm for our 8 am class six extra times, because believe me it'll only get worse.

6. For not judging me in the morning when I am the definition of a hot mess.

7. Telling me that the definition of 'Petty' should have a picture of my face next to it. I guess no one has ever really seen that side of me until I arrived here at Elmira.

8. For giving me a study partner, breakfast, lunch, and dinner date.

9. Finally, Thank you for simply being you. Here's to a great freshmen year with you, my best friend.

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.
