An Open Letter To My High School Best Friends
Author's Photo

After our four years are up, it is inevitable that we go our separate ways and choose different paths to walk in life. Whether we go to different colleges or just drift apart as people, there are some thoughts almost every person has about their high school best friends…

To my best friends I still have today:


Thank you. Thank you for standing by me no matter what. For putting up with my post break-up tears and constant rambling on why it ended. For never turning your back on me, especially when I needed you the most. And mostly for realizing that I’ve changed as a person, as most people do after high school, but knowing you still love me anyways. Even though we have made new friends along the way, know that you will forever be my best friend.

To the best friends I see occasionally and can still laugh with:


Even though we may have drifted apart, and have butt heads from time to time, I still respect you and wish you the best. It is heartwarming to be able to look back on memories and laugh, without a bitter feeling inside. It’s always nice to see your new endeavors and I will always wish for you to succeed. You were once there for me, and I will always be there for you. Thank you for understanding that even though we are no longer best friends, we once were, and for that I am forever grateful.

To the best friends I no longer speak to:

We may have opposing opinions on many things and not agree with each other’s life choices here or there, but none of that matters. An immature voice probably spoke hurtful words once or twice, but only to hide the pain of losing a best friend. I too wish you nothing but the best. I will always smile at your success, even if it’s behind your back. You were once a sister, and you cannot rid of a sister, at least permanently. I’ll never forget the bond we once shared, and I thank you for that.

Friendships will always be some of the hardest relationships to maintain, especially in high school. The ones who have stayed through it all will never leave, and the ones who leave will never forget their once best friend. Wherever you go, just know I am always rooting for you.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend

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.
