A Letter To My Grandma, Thank You.
Sydney Sauschuck

From my earliest days, I am able to remember all of our lunches, trips, and visits.

My years have been spent with you by my side. Picking me up from preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school. Driving around town until I found the perfect, Halloween costume. Attending all of the games and matches you could, always believing in me. Being there on days when I left school early because I was sick. Being the first to call me on my birthday every year.

Coming to our house on the first day of school to take pictures. Painting flowers and ladybugs on the perfectly shaped rocks you found. Purchasing from my school's fundraisers because you knew how happy it would make me to see your name listed. Always having a 5x7 frame ready for my school picture. Bringing me a Hess' sandwich and my favorite flavors of Gatorade for lunch and before my tennis matches. You have done and continue to do so much for me, Grandma.

What I will cherish forever is your loving me each day of my life. I hope you know how much I love and admire you. I thank God He blessed me with you- I am so lucky that you are my grandmother.

You are the most selfless and humble person I am fortunate to love. You have shown me what unconditional love is, and I will treasure your love and support for eternity. Now that I am fourteen hours away from home, I miss you so, incredibly much. I cannot hop in the car and stop to visit you whenever I want. Or drop off your favorite meal when I have the chance to surprise you. I cannot drive down a main road and see your gray car, and feel excited to see you. So, I look forward to calling you and hearing your soft, sweet voice that reminds me of home. I cannot wait to see you in November.

I could write forever about the amazing woman you are, but you know how much you mean to me, and that I keep you the closest to my heart.

Love Always,

Sydney Brooke

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.
