To My College Roommate Who Became My Best Friend.

To my roommate who became my best friend,

Thank you, for letting me be me. I was not expecting to love a roommate this much, but I was blessed. I've told you everything about me, and you've told me everything about you. And even though we've only known each other for a little over a month I feel like I've known you for years and years of my life. Thank you for letting my cry on your shoulder when I don't even know what I'm crying about. Thank you for the dance parties at one in the morning, and watching movies until we can't keep our eyes open. Thank you for reminding me that he was stupid, and not letting me text him. Thank you for supporting me in all my crazy ideas, even if it involves staircase banisters and Spider Man masks. Thank you for making me feel like I belong, like I have a family, and reminding me that I am worthy. Thank you for encouraging me, in all aspects of my faith, my school work, and telling me I look cute even if I look like trash. Thank you for doing my chore for the week when I have a mountain of homework, or sleep, to catch up on.

Coming to college, I was terrified, about everything, but you made me feel safe. Thank you for complimenting me on my burps, and my insane dance moves, and loud singing. Thank you for not liking who I don't like, and making me laugh so hard that my stomach aches, and I think I might pee my pants on our living room floor. Thank you for doing weird facial masks with me, and laughing when it peels off the little hairs on my face, and hurts a lot. You helped me to get a bid for my dream sorority, and I can't wait to call you my sister in a few weeks.

Most importantly, thank you for being you.

I love you so much.

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.
