An Open Letter To My Best Friends
Lauren Basha

It’s so fun having a best friend like you and I think of myself as the luckiest girl in the world because I have you as one of my biggest supporters no matter what.

First off, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for putting up with me, thank you for laughing with me, thank you for always putting a smile on my face, thank you for telling me how it is and always being straight up with me. Thank you for laughing at my jokes even when we both know they’re not funny. Thank you for helping me get through my struggles. Thanks for making me study. Thank you for making me who I am, you are the best.

I appreciate you more than you will ever know and I honestly don’t know what I would do if you weren’t in my life. You have helped me with so much, especially in the past few months. You have seen me at my best and seen me at my worst. Thank you for all the advice, memories and for sticking around even when I’m a mess.

I want you to know that you can come to me for anything and everything. Whether it’s 2am and you’ve got a lot on your mind or at three in the afternoon and you need to tell someone about the cute dog you just saw; I’m here. I want to hear about your life, I want you to share your stories with me. I want to be apart and I want to have each other to make fun of the jerks we encounter together.

When I think about you and all the memories we have made all I can do is smile because of how blessed I am to have you do life with me. Our spontaneous adventures, long phone calls, dinner dates, movie nights and nights that turn into mornings make me so happy to look back on.

You are an amazing person and I hope you know that. You inspire me to be a better person and teach me so much about life. I hope you know your self-worth and if you don’t or if you ever question it, I’m always here for a confidence booster.

Embrace your individuality and independence. You are an incredible human and you deserve the world. I have loved watching you do life and I can’t wait to continue to see the amazing things that happen to you and help you through the hard times.

Thank you for being my person, my rock and my best friend.

I love you to the moon and back.

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.
