Why Best Friends Are Important
Sophie Sajdak

Everyone has that one friend they can tell anything and everything to. They know all the dirt about us, but still loves who we are as a person.

1. They Know Too Much

My best friend knows way too much about me to ever allow us to not be friends. There are lots of secrets that only those best friends know and lots of crazy memories. Only my best friend could bring up something from the past that will have me laughing for days. Basically, my best friend has more than enough dirt to blackmail me.

2. Friends For Over 12 Years

So much time has passed, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else beside me throughout all of the experiences. There’s a saying that if you’re friends for over seven years, then you’re going to be best friends for life. Even being 63 miles away at different colleges, she never fails to still be there for me when I need it the most.

3. The Only Person I Trust

There is no one else that I would confide in other than my best friend. They know more about me than anyone else on this planet and I’m okay with that. They always have your best interest in mind. They care about you and only want what is best, even if they get mad that you’re texting that one boy who doesn’t deserve you again. No matter how many times they yell at you, they just want you to be happy and they continually tell you over and over again.

4. Knows Me Better Than I Know Myself

Whether it’s little motivation texts when you need them the most or even little inside jokes, they’re always there at the right time. Even driving in the car and they play the song that you wanted to hear, but just couldn’t think of the title. Or shopping at TJ-Maxx and they find a super cute top that they know you will love. They can always tell when you’re in a bad mood before you even talk to them

5. My Person

Who else would take their time to drive around eating cheap breadsticks while listening to break up songs from the early 2000s with you? Who else would have 4 am phone calls because you can’t stand being alone for much longer. And it always seems that the two of you are always going through the exact same things at the exact time; always floating in the same boat!

Through it all, you both continue to support each other, and that’s true friendship. So thank you to my best friend for everything you do!

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.
