A Poem For National Best Friends Day
lifehack

June 8th is National Best Friends Day. As can be said for any holiday or observance, the people being honored should be appreciated everyday, not just one day out the year. While this is certainly true, I think it is important to have a day designated specifically for friendship. Friends, however cheesy the saying is, are the family that we choose. I have experienced the highs and lows of making new friends as well as mostly just the lows of feeling like I have no friends. Throughout the journey, I have realized how important of a role my best friends play in my life. From remaining close to some friends and growing distant from others, I have come to realize how amazing my friends in my life are. They are my support system, my confidences, my partners in crime. My best friends are the ones I can be most myself around because I know they will not judge. Even though I know all this to be true, I do not always tell my friends just how much I love them. This is why I believe National Best Friends Day to be significant. In honor of this day, I have written a poem as a tribute to my best friends.

Make me smile,

Make me laugh,

That’s just who you are.

Always bring a joyful face;

Happiness is ours.

I can always count on you

to lift me up when I’m down.

That’s why I just want to say,

I’m glad when you’re around!

Above all, I want to say thank you. The hard times are made easier and the normal times brighter with my best friends by my side. My life would be incomplete without them.

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.
