To The Fraternity That Helped Me Through College

I can't believe little ole Penn State Altoona would have brought some of the greatest guys I can call my best friends.

Going to college was not an easy thing for me. I started my college life in my dorm all the time unless I was in class. When I finally decided to try out for the cheer team, I found some of my best friends. Not long after that, we were invited to hang out with the brothers of Alpha Phi Delta (APD), where I met some of the nicest and most genuine guys. After we hung out with them, and I got close to them, I found myself talking to them and hanging out with them almost every night.

When days went to hell and classes just got harder, I always went to them for encouragement and to get things off my mind. The brothers of APD are so caring, they will do anything and everything to make their friends feel safe and loved. Having the days that I felt so low and having them do nothing but make me laugh and smile— I will truly cherish that forever.

I am forever thankful for you, APD brothers.

Thank you for all of the fun nights that got me out of my shell. Thank you so much for helping me find some of my forever friends. Y'all are the greatest guys that I could have gotten to know. You all have opened the doors and welcomed me in so many ways. Meeting you guys is one of the greatest things that could have happened to me. From the moment y'all threw the surprise birthday party for me (without knowing me) to the time I was punched at our Waka Flocka concert and you guys defending me, I will forever hold y'all close to my heart.

The memories that were made will be ones that I will forever cherish. You brothers really show the true meaning of family. A lot of people hear fraternities and think negatively, but they obviously haven't experienced or met the people that are in one. With being around the Greek life environment with you guys, it was just another reason why I decided to join Greek Life.

Penn State Altoona's Alpha Phi Delta, thank you so much for being such a positive impact on my life. You will always be one of the reasons I look at life from such a different perspective.

I can't believe little ole Penn State Altoona would have brought some of the greatest guys I can call my best friends.

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.
