An Open Letter To My Best Friend Back Home

I miss you more than you could possibly imagine.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend Back Home

To my best friend back home,

It has been so long since we've seen each other and we just spent the last five weeks being with each other almost 24/7. In only a few days we'll be crying and saying goodbye again. College has been great, but I have missed you terribly. I love it here but nothing is better than being home with my family and you, my best friend.

Although we didn't see each other everyday to begin with, being a hundred miles away from you doesn't make anything easier. Texting and FaceTiming you everyday eases the pain but its hard knowing that you aren't right by my side to create new memories with me. I miss not having you right here when I need you.

Since day one, you know everything that has gone down this last semester. Every single little detail that has happened to me you know. You probably know more about my life here than I do. I have changed in more ways than one, but I can't and won't forget where I came from. Our friendship goes back for years and nobody on this campus knows me as well as you do. My new friends have a lot of catching up to do!

I have already started counting down the days until I see you again and I have so much to tell you. I might have to come visit you before spring break just because I miss you so much already. I know it will be worth the drive when I see you, and it will suck when I have to leave again and go back to school.

All I can really say is that distance has nothing on our friendship, I can promise you that. I know that you will always be there for me when I need you to and I will always be there for you. You're my best friend and you always will be.

Sincerely,

Your long-distance BFF.

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.
