A Letter To My Best Friend
Alexandra Nikas

Dear Weirdo,

Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. I would never be the person I am today without your help and influence. Thank you for showing me the world through your eyes. For showing me that I am a beautiful person, even if I don’t feel it some days. Thank you for standing up for me when no one else would. Thank you for always laughing at my horrible jokes even if they weren’t as funny as I thought. Thank you for cheering me up on my darkest days by spraying whipped cream everywhere and eating all of the brownies in your pantry, because what else are best friends for?

I know we don’t live as close as we used to, but 332 miles won't stop our friendship. I am always a FaceTime call or text away. Being best friends also entitles us to ugly Snapchat duels and forever triple texting each other to get the others attention. Always, I need to be the first to know all of the essential guy drama you have been dealing with. Your drama is my drama, and if anyone hurts you they have to go through me.

Just remember if you ever need anything, I am here, and I will always be here. I will always be your friend, sister or whatever you need me to be. I am always free to cook you breakfast in the morning and am always open for impromptu adventures. However, if you would like to run at 8 a.m., I will more than likely say no 10 out of 10 times.

Honestly, I don’t know what I would do without you. Even though we have little disagreements, sometimes that’s normal. We settle it out by giving each other food, the typical college student way. But, whatever we get mad at each other for, we will always get over it, and I will always be here for you.

Also, I would like to thank your family for treating me as one of their own. I would like to thank them for loving me as if I was their fourth adopted daughter. I appreciate everything they have ever done for me. I would like to thank them for letting me get to know their daughter as well as I have.

Our friendship is something that I treasure and will never take for granted. I can easily say I consider you my family, and I will always have space for you in my heart. I love you.

Sincerely,

Your 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.
