To The Best Friend I Left Behind To Go To College
Molly McCrea

Dear best friend,

First off, I wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I left you behind to go to college 440 miles away. I'm sorry that we've lost contact over the summer and we don't talk like we used to. I'm sorry we can't talk about boys over coffee anymore or that we can't go on our sushi dates like we used to. You've been there with me through thick and thin over the last two years and I can't express enough how grateful I am to have met you. You became one of my best friends who knows more about me than I know about myself. I miss our coffee and sushi dates more than anything in the world. I miss walking over to your house at ten-o-clock at night to watch "Law and Order: SVU" with you and your mom while eating sunflower seeds and then sitting outside to have tea at the park across from your house. Your family became my family and you became like a sister to me. We did everything together.

I moved away after we graduated and now we don't talk. Sometimes I think it's my fault, that I'm not trying hard enough to keep in contact or maybe we both just got too busy for each other. I still look at every picture we ever took together and wonder how we went from being so close and talking every day, to hardly talking at all. Now it feels like we're strangers and I have no idea how we got to this point.

I talk about you all the time to one of my friends in college and tell her about all our adventures, late night talks, and everything we ever did together. I talk about how much I miss you and how I would trade anything to see you for a day or talk to you. I think about you every day and wonder how you are doing. I want to tell you so much about college and what my college is like. I want to tell you about the guy I have a crush on in one of my classes and I want to tell you about how everyone here are horrible drivers. One thing is for certain though, you will always have a huge place in my heart no matter what, even if we don't talk decades from now. I am so sorry we lost contact but always know that I will forever be here whenever you need me.

Sincerely,

A girl who misses her best friend

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.
