Dear Graduating College Seniors,

CONGRATULATIONS! You have come so far and now you are finally graduating! You have transformed from an excited freshman to a confident senior. The last few years have been filled with lots of laughter with friends and memories that you will cherish for a long time. Shout out to that friend who brought you coffee in the dark hours of night to help you study. You have finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel. Welcome to the big world, it is yours to explore!

I personally want to thank you from your fellow classmates. We may be passing faces, but you have made an impact in our lives. Thank you for being a part of my college experience and making it so wonderful. I am so grateful to have such an awesome person go to my school. Thank you for being there in times of need and comfort. Thank you for all the deep conversations we had about the future. Thank you for all the calories we lost together from laughing so hard. You are a true friend. I know I’m not the only person who you have personally impacted - don’t forget that.

College is not that end, there is a whole world out there waiting for you to find. Grab your hiking boots and be ready for the adventure! When you are down, and are wondering if you make a difference think, about all the people in your college career that have been there for you. About twice has many people have been impacted by you and your presence. God is going to do great things in your life. Make sure to trust in Him whenever the ride is a little iffy. Adult life will be hard, and you know that, but when you lean on the Father, he will calm you.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man. I perceived that whatever God does endure forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him.” Ecclesiastes 3:11-14 (ESV)


Congratulations class of 2016! You did it!

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.
