An Open Letter To My Fitbit

They say friends come in all shapes and sizes, and it is better to count all your friends on one hand, and well, my best friend is on my left wrist, so I think that means I have a pretty great friend.

Dear Fitbit,

You sit on my left wrist every single day, all hours of the day, and no matter what I am doing, you are there for me. I don't do much for you, except walk and you count my steps, but I think we have a pretty great friendship going on.

I know I can trust you, and you will never leave me. That is, until I took you off to charge one night and left for class the next morning with the bracelet on my wrist, but your battery on the charger. After that, I promised I would not leave you again, and ever since you have been write by my side.

Other than your caring and loyal personality, I love how adventurous you are. You are always ready for what I want to do next, and you never complain. I can take you swimming, I can take you hiking, and I can even take you out to formal or a date night. You never cease to want to try something new, and I love that you are always along for the ride.

Another thing I love about you is that you are very motivating. You encourage me to move more, and hit the gym every day, something I have a hard time motivating myself to do. I know that by the time I go to sleep at night, if I don't have 5 flashing dots, I disappointed you and myself. You have helped me fulfill my new years resolution every single day this year, and that is something I never thought would actually happen. Thank you for the motivation. You can always catch me doing a happy dance when you vibrate and tell me I have reached my step goal for the day.

Thank you for always being there for me and motivating me to be more active. True friends are those that help you be the best you and are always loyal no matter what. Thank you for giving me a second chance the first time I forgot you, and always know that I will keep you fully charged so we can go on more adventures.

Oh fitbit, no matter what color you are today or tomorrow, I know I can count on you. Thank you again as if I haven't said it before.

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.
