To my new, but close friend; my roommate. This letter is to my roommate Sam who lives with me this year in Scott Village.

When we first met, I didn’t know you or any of our other roommates, but the minute we got a hold of each other, I knew we would be great friends. When you moved in before me, I was nervous about meeting you and the other two girls because I didn’t know what to expect. When we found out that we would be living together, I sent you an email so we could keep in touch before we moved in. When we started talking, I realized we had so much in common and that made me incredibly happy. When we first moved in, we stayed up and talked for a while and hung out and decorated our dorm together. I love how close we’ve become in the short time that we have known each other (Since August). We have so many things in common and like to do a lot of the same things. Most of all, I wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done for me since we met.

Thank you for putting up with my stressed out self at times and helping me through the tough moments. Thanks for putting off homework with me and watching our favorite series on Netflix instead. Also, for going to the dining hall with me when I couldn’t find anyone else to go with. I cannot imagine spending my time with anyone else during the week, but you.

During the tough moments in the semester, you were always there for me when I needed to cry or vent about something, when I worry about anything, you are there to help me through it. I just want you to know that I’m always here for you too. No matter where we end up, I am always going to be just a call away no matter what.

You are the only one that I would go to the store with and buy a bunch of food when we are hungry, despite us having no money, let’s be honest, we have done that several times at 10 o’clock at night. I love all of our late night movies and eating snacks at midnight while trying not to wake up the entire building with our obnoxious laughing. Thank you for always reminding me that God is on my side no matter what and that you are too. I appreciate everything you have done for me and I thought you should know how much you mean to me. Love you no matter what and I can’t wait for more memories with you.

Love,

Your Roommate

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.
