An Open Letter To The Friends I Don't Talk To Enough

Always together and never apart; maybe in distance but never in heart.

An Open Letter To The Friends I Don't Talk To Enough
Megan Keane

Dear friend,

How are you? I've seen pictures all over Facebook and Instagram and let me tell you, you look great! College is treating you swell.

We haven't spoken in a while. It may be a few months or a few weeks, but it still feels like an eternity. It's crazy how life has gotten in the way and we just don't have the time to text, or call, each other as often. This doesn't mean that we're no longer friends because we definitely still are. I don't feel a disconnect, or an empty place in my heart because you're still a part of my life. I know that when school ceases to take up our lives we'll be back where we left off.

Summer is just around the corner and I know for sure that the two of us will be blasting music as we drive with the windows down. We'll spend hours upon hours on the beach, you getting tan while I burn. I'm aware that I probably won't be able to shake you and we're going to spend a lot of time cooling off in our air conditioned houses watching Netflix. That reminds me, we should definitely watch season 3 of Orange is the New Black together. I can't wait to make up for all the months we've been apart for a summer full of phenomenal memories.

You see, what I love about our friendship is that we understand. There's no hard feelings when I don't call, or you forget to answer your texts. We know that as college kids sometimes life gets too crazy. I love that when we finally do schedule a day to see each other it's like we haven't been apart for a minute. Everything is natural. All our inside jokes are still intact. We always pick up right where we left off.

I see what you're doing in your college life and I'm so proud. Even if I haven't said it to you yet, I want you to know that I am always cheering you on from the sidelines. We may be hundreds of miles apart, but I'm always right by your side. If things get hard, or you're missing me, I will always pick up your phone call when I see your name light up on my screen.

Sincerely,

The one who will always be here for you.

P.S. Next time I see you, I'm coming at you like this...

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.
