Dear First Apartment, Please Be Good To Me

I finally have a place all on my own and it's scary and exciting all at the same time.

Dear First Apartment, Please Be Good To Me
Alex Todd

Dear First Apartment,

First off I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for being my first big girl home. Thank you for providing me shelter and welcoming me with open arms. You are my sanctuary the the place I retreat too after long days at school. The place I get to call my own.

That being said, please be good to me. I will let you in on a secret, I don't know what I am doing. I am learning how to be an adult every minute of every day so please take it easy on me. I ask that you take care of me and I will take care of you.

Teach me responsibility. I am learning how to care for myself while I care for a home. Teach me how to do both with class and dignity. Allow me the opportunity to try my best and learn something new along the way.

The memories I will make here are some I can't make anywhere else. From cooking my first meal, to spending my first night in my own room. I ask that you help me take snapshots of the best years of my life. Allow the memories I make here to carry on through my life. solidify friendships and build new relationships.

Lastly, Thank you. Thank you for giving me roommates who want to get to know me. Who encourage me to try new things. who want to see the best for me.

I don't know what this years holds, but I know it is going to be something special. With that I say let the good times roll and I'm so glad I have found a place I can call home.

Sincerely,

The girl who is trying her best to adult.

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.
