Chicken Strips Really Are The Way To My Heart

How I fell in love with my St. Thomas tour guide aka the boy who bought me chicken strips.

Chicken Strips Really Are The Way To My Heart
Google

My mom always said the way to a persons heart is through their stomach. Never in a million years did I think it would be the reason why I fell in love with somebody.

Fortunately for Jackson Roche, I am chicken strips number one fan. I could probably write a whole article on why chicken strips are important to me. If you want me to be your best friend buy me chicken strips. If you want me to be your girlfriend buy me chicken strips. If you want me to love you forever, buy me chicken strips.

In all honesty you know you've found the love of your life, when he's binge eating chicken strips with you to Hannah Montana: The Movie on a Tuesday.

My home is wherever Jackson and the chicken strips are.

Funny thing is, he was my tour guide for the AFROTC program at the University of St. Thomas. In no way did I think I would walk away from that tour wanting to know more about some boy who looked good in AF blue.

Nor did I walk away knowing that he felt the same way about a girl who was too concussed for her own good.

Four days after our chicken strip filled day of fun, and everything purple he asked me to be his date the AFROTC Military Ball. Of course he asked an Army cadet to a Air-force Ball, but the anticipation of post dance chicken strips and a good time couldn't keep this girl away.

Unfortunately, there were no post dance chicken strips, and Jackson and I are legit the worst pair of dancers on the dance floor, but I found something even better; a best friend, a partner in life, a boy who is really bad at taking a hint 95% of the time(HOLD MY HAND PLEASE, AND THANK YOU), and a boyfriend who adores me just as much as he adores chicken strips.

My life has been nothing but great since I met him. He means more to me than chicken strips. I've found a boy who is the total package. Finding a boy who loves chicken strips as much as you is hard to find in 2016, but I'm lucky I did.

Glad we can fall in love with each other, and chicken strips everyday. I love you, Jackson Roche.

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.
