To My Best Friends Who Went To A Different College
Hallie Walker

First off, thank you for being my best friends. Thank you for sticking by my side when I’ve done stupid things and not turning your backs on me. I’m forever grateful that y'all are in my life. Now that we have started this new part of our lives, it’s hard to imagine y'all not being there every day, but somehow we have done it. We have branched off and moved away from each other, and it’s still sad to me.

Even though we are five months into college, I still miss y'all every day. I miss seeing your faces every day. I miss hearing your voices -- not on the phone, but in person. I miss being able to drive five minutes to see y'all. I miss our late night adventures and shenanigans. I miss y'all. But as we grow older, this is something that must happen. A chapter of life ends so that a new one can begin.

We knew that when graduation hit, it would be the last time we would be together in that environment. It was bittersweet to say the least. Even though it was sad, I wouldn’t do it any other way. Y'all made my high school experience one I will definitely remember. Thank y'all for accepting me for who I am. Thank you for making me feel better when I was sad or just feeling low. Thank you for being there.

Now that we are in college, I’m still grateful that you guys are still there. We all may be hundreds of miles away from each other, but I can still count on y'all to be there. I know that I can still call or text, and y'all will always answer. As we go through this whole college thing without each other, I hope you guys find friends that you can be just as close with. I hope y'all can find someone that you can create memories with, just like y'all did with me.

It makes me sad to think that someone will be making new memories with y'all and I won’t be there. Yes, I am a little jealous of your new friends because they get to experience your awesomeness all over again. But this is life, and we must face it. I pray that you have a great college year. You make wonderful friends and wonderful memories. I just want y'all to know that I’m grateful for y'all and you will always be my best friends.

P.S. You better not forget about me.

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.
