I miss you so much when you're gone.

An Open Letter To The Weekend

Dear Weekend,

I miss you all the time. Whenever you are not here, I think about you all the time. I can’t wait for you to get here and I never want you to leave. Once I have to say goodbye I count down the days until I get to see you again. I look forward to whenever you come around because you bring me so much happiness. I want to thank you for so many things.

Thank you for allowing me to catch up on my sleep. Thank you for not judging me when I sleep for 12 hours and sometimes don’t even get out of my pajamas. Thank you for not making me set an alarm. Thank you for giving me a much needed break from going to class and meetings. Thank you for allowing me to not stress as much as I do during the week. Thank you for giving me time to watch Netflix or watch shows that I missed during the week. Thank you for letting me spend time with my friends. Thank you for giving me the chance to leave campus and not eat in the dining hall. Thank you for listening to me complain about how much I dread weekdays or complaining about the homework I have to do at some point. Thank you for giving me to the excuse to not answer my emails as quickly. Thank you for giving me the excuse to push my homework off for one more day, because who really does homework on a Friday or Saturday night anyway? Thank you for giving me this false sense of hope that I have so much time to get things done. Even though you go by so fast, I still like to think you won’t.

Sometimes, I take you for granted and for that I am sorry. Now, I have never appreciated you so much. I have grown to appreciate you more and more throughout my college years. When I was younger, I never thought I would appreciate you so much or miss you so much when you are gone. I realize now that I am a senior in college I might not be able to experience the benefits you bring anymore. Weekend, as I know you, might be gone. This means I appreciate you even more and will take advantage of the benefits you provide.

Right now, I miss you so much. Please come back quickly.

Love,

Emily

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.
