An Open Letter To My College Best Friend

A college best friend is someone you see every month of the year except for the summer, but the bond you two make is stronger than any other friendship you've ever had.

An Open Letter To My College Best Friend
Kiley Hill

To my college best friend,

You came into my life out of nowhere, and I think that's what's made this friendship so special. I wanted to be friends with you so badly and I just couldn't figure out how to start. So, as we joke about, my first attempt was complimenting your rings as our group of friends walked to a party together.

A few parties later, and we found out we both wanted to be friends but didn't know how to start. Funny to see how things changed so fast. Ever since that night, we've been inseparable and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

As the weeks leading up to college shortened, I was so anxious I wouldn't be able to make any friends. I never knew I'd be finishing my second semester with the most amazing person to call my best friend.

I don't even know where to begin when describing our friendship. We relate together on so many different things and you understand me better than any other friend I've had. You're the first person I go to with anything, and I know whatever I tell you stays between us and your loyalty means more than anything to me.

We don't have to talk every day to know we're still each other's best friend, but we do anyway. When we hang out, we can sit in silence on our phones and still enjoy spending time together.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to get to know me and love me for who I am. You truly have been the biggest blessing that walked into my life since I started at Penn State. I couldn't imagine my life without you and it's good that I can't because I know you'll be a life long friend to me.

I truly have no idea how I got through life without having you as my friend. My life has brightened so much since I've been able to call you my best friend.

You're at my maturity level, which is so hard to find these days. I've never thought once how immature you are being like I do most people our age. You take the time to listen to me and understand my problems. Sometimes you suck at listening, I'll be five minutes into a story and you'll be like, "Wait, what?" But when I truly need you, you're there. We walk 10 minutes to each other's dorms because we can't stand being bored without each other, so instead, we sit in my dorm and be bored together.

I can't wait for the many adventures we'll take together the rest of our lives as I call you my best friend. Thank you for being you and I'll forever love you, Corn.

Always,

Your college best friend

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.
