An Appreciation Letter To My Best Friend

You are my rock, you are the Blair to my Serena, the Brooke to my Peyton, and the one person I know that will always be there, by my side, no matter what happens. Whether I did something wrong or not, you will always have my back. You can cheer me up faster than anyone I know. You know things about me no one else does. You let me raid your closet when you know I have clothes of my own I could be wearing. You have seen me at my worst and at my best. Even when my worst is throwing up and calling you at five in the morning. You still love me unconditionally, and I could not ask for someone better.

I only hope to be as great of a person as you are someday. You give the best advice. You tell me the truth even when it hurts, even if you do sugarcoat it. I know you are just trying to help me in the long run. Even when you are going through a rough time, I know you will put aside what you are feeling to make someone else feel better. You are always putting others first before yourself. You are selfless. You are absolutely beautiful from the inside out, whether you have eye shadow on or not. (She believes she can't leave the house without it because her “eyelids are ugly.")

Even though you weren’t physically with me during my latest break up, you were with me emotionally. You told me that everything would be okay and everything happens for a reason. You helped me all along the way. Everything does happen for a reason. There was a reason you were in my fall 2014 pledge class. There is a reason you have become my best friend. You came into my life to make me a better person. Whether you planned to do so or not, you have impacted my life. You have changed the way I look at things. You changed the way I handle things. You have made me a better person.

I can not thank you enough for being the best friend I was always meant to have. Thank you for always listening to me whine about things that don’t really matter. Thank you for going on awkward double dates with me. Thank you for letting me borrowing your Kendra's. Thank you for letting me crash at your apartment. Thank you for always being on my side, even when I wasn't right. Thank you for dragging me out when I was down. Thank you for always cheering me up. Thank you for being yourself.

Claire, I love you. Your mom would be absolutely proud of you and the amazing woman you have become.

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.
