An Open Letter To My Big

Dear Big,

When I first joined the sorority, I had no idea who my Big was going to be and I was scared that no one would want me. I knew who you were, but didn't truly know you yet. But that changed quickly.

From the moment I met you, I knew you were going to be my Big. And I thank God that you are. The moment I found out that you were my Big, I was filled with an endless amount of joy. I knew from that day forward I was going to have a forever friend. And with that being said...

Thank you for being there for me from day one. You have been there for me through everything that freshman year of college had to throw at me. Even if it was trying to figure out what to eat for lunch that day, you helped me. Or if it was stressing over a test, you were there for me. No matter how big or how small the problem, you were there to talk me through it. You gave me the best advice anyone could ever give. You truly knew the right things to say at the right time. You never ceased to remind me that things could be a lot worse, and you never let me forget how truly blessed my life is.

Thank you for constantly encouraging me. When I doubt myself and think that there is no way I could do something, you are there to tell me that I am capable off anything that I put my mind to.You push me to not only do well in school, but to be a better person. You make me want to be a better person and you help me be that better person.

Thank you for being the best friend that I never knew I needed. Going into college, I thought I had all the friends that I needed, but I was very wrong. There was something missing. I just didn't know it until I met you. You filled a void that I never knew was there. You became someone that I truly need in my life.

Lastly, thank you for loving me. You didn't have to choose me to be your Little but I am honored that you did. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. I don't know how I have lived these past 19 years of my life without you, but I am beyond thankful that I have you now. So here is to a lifetime of friendship.

Love you long time.

Love,

Your Little

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.
