To My Best Friends: You Deserve The World
Levi Whitehead

Dear best friends,

I thank the universe on a daily basis for causing our paths to cross and bring you into my life. I'm always amazed that you have the patience to put up with my extremely energetic and sassy self, but you do it anyways. There is no one I would rather spend afternoons watching Netflix and eating tubs of ice cream, going on late night drives, or laughing till our stomachs hurt at things no one else would find funny with. I could tell you all the cliches about how special you are to me, how my life would be so different without you, how I don't think I could ever have such good friends as you, and so on and so on. While those are so very true, there's something else I want to tell you. Something that I think is a little more important.

I want to tell you how unique and special you are. I may never be able to fully explain how incredible you truly are, but I can try. You inspire me on a daily basis to be the best version of myself that I can be. You constantly show me what the meaning of true friendship is, the kind of friendship that I know will last for the rest of our lives. Whenever I feel alone, I know that you will always be there. I will never be able to thank you enough for that, but thank you so much.

You deserve the best in this world. You deserve every smile, every laugh, and every happy tug of the heart this world can give you. You deserve college years filled with shining memories. You deserve careers that make going to work every day a good thing. You deserve a partner who makes life better on a daily basis. Someone who you can travel the world with, learn new things with, and have day long Netflix binges with. You deserve families that make you smile and bring you joy. You deserve long lives filled with happiness and love. You deserve everything good this world can you give you.

While you deserve everything good, you also deserve bad. This may sound backwards, but adversity has a way of changing us, and I have seen how much you grow from hard times. I think we all grow after experiencing tragedies. They help us to reevaluate our lives and appreciate the good in our lives. So maybe it would make more sense to say you deserve everything. You deserve the world, in all it's good, bad, and ugly. I have no doubt that you will take whatever the world throws at you and turn it into a triumph, a victory. I am so proud of you, every day, and I cannot say it enough, but you deserve the world.

Love always,

Your ever grateful and humble 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.
