Dear Best Friend, This Isn't Goodbye

One of my hardest see-you-laters.

Dear Best Friend, This Isn't Goodbye
Crimson Jeffers

Circumstances have called you home, and I think we both know it's for the best.

I just want to let you know that I'll be fine, and so will you. I miss you more than you will ever know. I am already struggling, running errands all by myself. I miss coming home from work and complaining to you and you suggesting that we binge watch a show on Netflix rather than being productive. I even did a thing... I got my ACT card fixed so I can get into the house without you.

The first week was the hardest. I couldn't stand being at the house for more than an hour. I definitely couldn't handle going up to our floor, or even towards your room. On our half snow day, I finally decided that I would have to come home eventually. I even went into your room.

Guess what? I didn't even tear up.

Of course, I'm sad still, but I know you wouldn't want me to mope around all semester. I'm sad you're missing celebrating your 21st here in Tuscaloosa, Anchor Ball, and keeping me entertained at chapter — just to name a few. But I'm holding onto the hope that you're going to grace me with your presence again soon. I'm so thankful you didn't just drop off the face of the earth completely. I'm glad I'm still able to hear your voice over the phone and see your face via Snapchat. I'm thankful for your friendship, and I'm thankful you're my sister.


10 hours isn't really that far, LITB,

Your best sista friend.

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.
