A Thank You Letter To My College Friends
Reach Out

To my best friends at college,

With you guys, I am my crazy self. I am comfortable talking to you about anything and everything, but yet I never feel awkward when we sit there in silence. You flaunt my achievements and understand my endeavors. You see me at my worst times but only talk about the good times. I have found my people and the ones who make my soul happy.

You have proved to me that sometimes the best friendships come out of nowhere. I came into college as a vulnerable freshman who was scared of what was to come. Growing up, I had the greatest friends a girl could ask for and I was very skeptical that I would ever find people that would compare to them. Yet, here I am.

I guess a thank you is in order for changing my life. You taught me how to believe in myself. You have pushed me to go after the things I am passionate about. You support me without sugar coating the truth. You have been there to make me laugh when I am crying and cry when I am laughing. You understand the dustiest and dirtiest corners of who I am and love me unconditionally.

I have had more fun with you guys in a couple years than some people have had in their whole lifetime. The adventures we go on and the jokes that we have are things that I wouldn't trade for anything (not even Domino's pizza). I appreciate your bad dance moves and good hearts.

I'm really happy I met you all, and I hope you know that. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our lives bring us and I am excited to see the people we become. I thank God every day for you guys and twice on Sundays.

1 universe, 9 planets, 204 countries, and I had the privilege of meeting you. Boy, did I luck out.

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.
