We all do it. Everyone likes to picture their big day, in a relationship or not. One of the most important factors to your big day is having your best friends by your side. Everyone says when you graduate high school you'll be able to count the number of true friends that you'll actually stay in contact with on one hand. I can honestly say that I am blessed to have that. Also, thank you to my best friends who I met in college and have done all of the same things even if it has been a shorter period of time. Here is a letter just to say "thank y'all" for being there through everything. I'm so blessed to have y'all in my life and I know that when the time comes to get married, y'all will be standing right there with me (whenever that may be...no rush).

Dear future bridesmaids,

1. Thanks for always having my back.

No matter the situation,

2. Thanks for telling me how it is.

Even if I may not want to hear it at the time. I appreciate that I can always count on y'all to be real with me and not lie to me because it may be what I "want to hear" or is "easier".

3. Thanks for laughing with me.

Even if it is during inappropriate situations, that moment when you're laughing so hard and try to stop but then you look at that person again and it's game over.

4. Thanks for encouraging me to stay strong in crappy situations.

Sometimes, out of nowhere life can smack you across the face. Thanks for endless vent sessions and being a shoulder to lean on.

5. Thanks for endless amounts of sleepovers.

Whether you're roommates or go visit each other, sleepovers make life better. Sleepovers equal staying up forever talking, tons of food, having fun, and just being with your best friends.

6. Thanks for staying in touch.

It can get hard when you all go off to different colleges. If you can stay friends through college while being nowhere near each other, that's when you know you found a true friend. God bless FaceTime, letters, text messages and Skype dates.

7. Thanks for having jam sessions with me.

True friends have blasted "22" by T-Swift, "Hello" by Adele, "Aaron's Party" by the one and only Aaron Carter, "Yeah" by Usher or "Sorry" by the Biebz.

8. Thanks for being supportive.

Even if we might not see eye to eye or maybe we do. Thanks for always being my number one fan!

9. Thanks for going on food runs with me.

Life would not be the same without 2 a.m. Taco Bell runs.

10. Thanks for making college awesome.

There are too many amazing memories that I could go on and on about.

11. Thanks for all that you do and for just being you.

I couldn't do life without y'all.

Love always,

Your best friend

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.
