A Letter To My Sister
Amber Schiffner

Dear Amanda,

Hey, how have you been? How is everything on the other side of the state? How's your job going? It must be interesting every day, I could never imagine being a manager at a high traffic store. Being a sales associate gets tiring as it is. How's life in the 20s going? I couldn't imagine how that is either, being in my late teens is already getting to me. More importantly, how are you?

Me? Well, life has been pretty strange for me. I'm adapting to adulthood, and it's kind of rough, honestly. I'm not that great at balancing things, and responsibilities are really getting me down. Everyday seems to drag a little longer than the next one. It's tiring. I'm starting school again soon. I'm going to be a sophomore in college. Do you remember when you were in college? It seems like so long ago when you were packing up, ready to go off to school, but it's been what, only five years? To be completely honest, I was happy to see you go. I wasn't that nice of a sibling, was I?

You're getting married soon, that's something I'm still trying to comprehend. My sister, my only sister, is going to begin her own family soon. Soon, not only will you be an animal mom, you will be a wife. You'll have your own family soon, doing family things. This means that I'll possibly be an aunt soon. That's truly mind-blowing. My sister might own a little human soon, one that will grow up just like we did. This is why I'm writing this letter to you, to congratulate you on your marriage. The fact that you could find love (and someone to deal with your craziness) is truly inspiring. I'm so excited to watch you walk down the aisle and meet your love at the end. I'm truly excited to share this experience with you.

So Amanda, I wish you nothing but the best. I'll see you soon.

Love,

Your Sister. XO.

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.
