An Open Letter To My Long Distance College Boyfriend
Sheina Bronfman

I am in my second semester of my freshman year and I'm over 200 miles away from you. Being away from you definitely sucks the most. But maybe this open letter to you will help you understand how much I appreciate you going through this tough journey with me.

1. You have been there for me everyday on Skype.

Whether it was a good day or a bad one you have been eagerly waiting for me to come back from classes to ask how I am whether it be a good day or bad one where you need to pick up the pieces.

2. You have stuck around even though I have pushed (and hard).

I tell you to go away or I tell you were breaking up (even though I don't mean it) mostly out of pure stress and me missing you but not being able to word it to you properly. You have never run away even though I push too hard sometimes.

3. The distance hasn't been easy.

We lived down the street for three years and it was so easy to just call you so I could see you in a flash of an eye. Now I'm so far away (273 miles to be exact) and it couldn't suck more. I got so used to seeing your face and being able to physically touch you and now I have to look at you through a computer screen. But you have never let that stop you from telling me how much you love me or sending me cute presents to get me through the last few days.

4. We both have busy lives.

You're in school and so am I with busy schedules and plenty of work. Does that stop you? Never. You always make time for me and it's always your full attention. Whether we're doing homework together or just joking around you make time to see me everyday no matter what.

5. You have supported me.

So many times I want to get up and leave this place, but you are my mountain and push me through. You motivate me and put me in the right mindset when I'm ready to have a meltdown. You got me through the many times where I was packing my bag and ready to call it quits. You got me through the emotional breakdowns and the hard times when I couldn't be home for my mom.

Those are only five of the 100 things I am so thankful for you doing for me while I am so far away. I am truly so lucky to have found you a year and half ago. You are the peanut butter to my jelly and the only thing that keeps me together. Thank you for being my best friend and loving my endlessly no matter if I'm down the street or five states away. You are truly one of a kind and I am blessed to be able to say you're my boyfriend. I love you so much and I'll see you soon.

Love always,

Sheina

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.
