To My College Friends

God knew what He was doing when He brought y'all into my life.

To my college friends;

How I ever lived without you is beyond me. You have become a huge part of my life in just a few short months. I tell you things that I would not tell my closest friends at home. Our bonds are unbreakable.

They have always said you will meet some of you best friends in college, but I did not believe them. I thought I had all the friends I needed. I have always been a homebody but college was a chance for me to become who I was supposed to be.

Going to a college five hours from home was difficult at first. The first week flew by considering it was recruitment week for the sororities. But even after I joined my home away from home I was not sure if Kentucky was the place for me. I started classes and saw some girls around I said hey to but no real friendships. I began to feel homesick. I did not want to go home because I felt something here. Deep down I knew UK was a special place and I had to give myself a chance.

I forced myself out of my comfort zone and started meeting girls. These girls mean more to me than I ever imagined they would. As soon as these connections started, they did not stop.

Thank you. You have made me feel more at home than I ever have. I do not even have to ask and you know what I need. You know when I’m annoyed and just need to be left alone. You know when I’m upset and know to keep quiet. You know I do not like hugs but always insist on hugging me anyways.

Thank you for being real.
Thank you for accepting me for my weird self and being just as weird as I am.
Thank you for letting me talk your ear off about some boy.
Thank you for letting me have a little too much fun some nights!!!
Thank you for assisting my assignments when I am in tears because I cannot take one more day of college.
Thank you for getting me ready for a boy that does not deserve my attention.
Thank you for the late nights. Late nights where we can go from heartfelt conversation to what we are going to eat for dinner tomorrow.
Thank you for letting me vent about my crazy life. And most of all thank you for your constant support.

You all mean the world to 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.
