My 10 Favorite Things About My Not So Little Brother

1. You’re my best friend

I can tell you anything and you can tell me anything. You are always available to complain to or cry to. We are on the same wavelength with everything and you get my references. You give the best advice and life could never be boring with you!

2. You’re never afraid to share your opinion

Whether it’s about my outfit, a boy, or something I am trying to figure out, you are never afraid to stand up and tell me that I am (sometimes) wrong. I should save myself the frustration and listen to you in the first place because you are usually right because you always have my best interests at heart.

3. You can make me laugh like no one else can

Whether it is a story you’re telling me about you and your friends, quoting SNL or something you did that is ridiculous, you make me smile until my mouth hurts and laugh until I am doubled over.


4. You are smarter than I will ever be

Your extensive knowledge about movies, history and space/astronomy never fails to impress me or teach me something new.

5. You’re always willing to help me out with whatever I need

“Will you help me put the clothes in the dryer?” “Will you get my phone charger from my room?” “Will you go to the mall with me to pick something up?” You’re not always enthusiastic about what we are doing, but you’re always there for me even if it is the most trivial thing in the world.


6. You’re outgrowing me

Even when I was looking down at you, I was looking up to you

7. You’re the best chef

Pancakes, French toast, Waffles, Eggs – any breakfast food - Wolfgang has nothing on you. You make the best food, breakfast is obviously your specialty, and it is seriously delicious.

8. Your hugs

Your hugs can alter any bad mood into a good one instantaneously.

9. Who you are

Example; The level of concentration you have filling out a scorecard at Met games and yelling at me for trying to talk to you while you do it, is the epitome of who you are and I wouldn’t change a thing about you.


10. Your Passion

Your drive and natural curiosity to learn new things continues to amaze me. From when you were 5 years old and was asking what a yawn was, to learning how to play 7 instruments (practicing almost every day!!!!!) and being in the honors program, watching you grow up and helping you along the way has been one of the greatest privileges and honors of my life. You’re the best gift I’ve ever been given. With everything you do, you never fail to inspire me and make me the proudest sister in the world!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
