A Breakup Letter To Pomping

It has been a fun run but I'm afraid this is the end.

A Breakup Letter To Pomping
Kahlie Hill

Dear Pomping,

I know that we had a fun run. We have had our fair share of long nights, tears, and laughs. Remember that time that I dropped all of my pomps all over the ground and proceeded to cry for 15 minutes before I picked them up? I do. Remember the time that I spent a Saturday night pomping because life was just really stressful and it seemed like a good idea? I do. Remember that time somebody offered to eat pomping glue in exchange for hours? I do. Regardless of my decisions made in the pomping room, I know that there were many memories made. We have created such tight relationships and became so close to people that we have met pomping. We have learned that our bodies don't actually require that much sleep to function somewhat properly. We have found a deep appreciation for pomping parties. We have learned that getting screens with only two or three colors are a complete blessing. We have learned not to eat the pomps, although we still aren't sure why anybody would.The scars on my legs from the chicken wire may fade, but the memories will not. So Pomping, I just want to thank you, because you've made me that much stronger.

We know that the end result is worth it. All of our hard earned hours that were not spent watching Netflix were completely worth it. We know that we are creating a deck that people will come into town for walkarounds and admire all of the efforts that we have put in. We know that our alumni will be proud of our efforts. We know that future Cowboys will look up to our decks in hopes that some day they can participate in America's Greatest Homecoming.

Saying this, I'm breaking up with you. I know that it has been a good time and it was really fun while it lasted... but I'm afraid that I need a break. My body cannot take this stress anymore, and I think that I'm better off without you for a bit. It's not that I don't love you dearly because I truly do. I gave you my all, and I cannot wait to try this again next fall, but I'm going to have to separate us for the time being. It's not you, it's 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.
