Don't Forget To Thank Your Best Friend From Home

They didn't replace you with their new college friends so remind them how important they are to you.

Don't Forget To Thank Your Best Friend From Home

Last week I wrote about what to thank your roommates for, but this week don't forget to thank your best friend from your hometown. They stuck by your side when you went to different colleges. Even when I made new friends, you still stuck by my side and I can't thank you enough.

1. Thank you for listening to me bitch about new friends, new boys and new classes

You're only a FaceTime or text away when I need to update you about my latest roommate fight. You never complain when I'm upset about the same boy week after week, yet I still talk to him.

2. Thank you for helping me through my quarter-life crisis

A lot happens when you go to college. First I was undecided, then I picked a major, then I freaked out because I wanted to travel the world. You were there to support me through all my decisions, even if they were unrealistic.

3. Thank you for letting me come visit you at college

You let me escape from my dorm and spend the weekend with you and your new friends. We were reunited and it felt so good.

4. Thank you for helping me study over the phone

I needed help with my statistics because I forgot everything we learned in high school, but you reminded me of the formulas. Plus I just wanted to procrastinate and call you.

5. Thank you for catching up on an entire season of "Grey's Anatomy" with me over winter break

It was finally winter break and we got to catch up after being away since August. We watched an entire season of "Grey's" and ate an entire pizza with no regrets. Having someone to take your mind off things after a long, hard semester is a blessing.

6. Thank you for helping me pick out an outfit over FaceTime

Sometimes my roommates' opinions weren't enough. You know me best and you know what I look best in, so thank you for picking up the phone on a Friday night and telling me what to wear.

7. Thank you for not replacing me

We spent months apart making new friends and making new memories. Sometimes we spent days without talking or I forgot to wish you good luck on your exam. You never forgot about me, so thank you because I don't know what I would do without you.

P.S. Summer is wrapping up so we better order a large pizza and binge watch some HGTV.

P.P.S. If you didn't notice, I used pictures from all the shows we watch together.

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.
