The Thank You Letter My College Bff's Deserve

Because our friendship goes far beyond frat parties, $5 pitchers, and tailgates.

The Thank You Letter My College Bff's Deserve
Personal

We never thought the time to go our separate ways would come, but it's finally here. Soon enough we will say goodbye to thirsty Thursdays, ice cream dates, and singing our hearts out to Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood in the living room.

As much as I wish we could remain college students forever, I'm beyond excited to watch all of you live your best life and make all of your dreams come true.

Reminiscing on the past 4 years, I have many things I'm thankful for, but I'm most thankful to the people who helped shape me into the person I am today. So this letter is for you guys.

Thank you for being there for me all of the times I needed you, with no questions asked. For all of the times I was upset, feeling defeated, or just didn't really feel like being alone and you would drop whatever you were doing just to come over and hang out with me, thank you.

Thank you for always hyping me up. Countless times I've felt ugly, fat, not good enough, any many other things. But thanks to you and your constant reassurance, I started to see myself in a new light, learned to not be so mean, and to love myself the way I am.

Thank you for the endless laughs. Whether it be from one of the million, and I'm not exaggerating when I say million, memes you send me in a day, or from a funny memory we still can't let go of from 2 years ago, I'm always laughing.

Thank you for always having my back, giving me advice, and telling me the things I don't really want to hear, but need to hear. You have always had my best interest in mind and for that, I am forever grateful.

And finally, thank you for being one of the greatest parts of my college experience, and my future bridesmaids. There have been so many ups and downs over the past 4 years, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

I can only hope that ten or maybe even twenty years from now, we will still be able to get together like we never parted. For now, I'm going to cherish all of the time we have left living in the same city, and try to remind you how much I love you and am thankful for you every chance I get.

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.
