To My Best Friend In Another State, Miles And Miles Away

Even if we don’t talk every day, I know you’re there for me any hour of the day.

To My Best Friend In Another State, Miles And Miles Away
Just Between Friends

To my best friend in another state,

Thank you for continuing to be my friend from miles and miles away. You are someone I can go to for homework help, fashion help, boy help, and anything else college life throws at me. Knowing that I have you by my side, even from states away, makes college so much better. I love that I can tell you all about my friends here at Miami University, and you can tell me all about your school friends. I love when we’re FaceTiming and our friends pop on the screen and we all get to meet. I love hearing about your wild nights out and your tough essays you need to write.

Seeing your pictures posted on social media makes me so happy because I probably picked it out of the ten others you sent me. When I tell you I’m going to have a night in, you always have movie and Netflix suggestions for me. You’re always willing to hear my rants about anything and everything and you always give me advice. Thanks for laughing at all my ridiculous jokes and comments, that usually aren’t as funny as I think, and for listening to all my pointless stories that go on and on forever.

I love hearing about everything going on at your school and I’m so proud of everything you’ve done. You are so smart and hardworking, and you continue to inspire me to be better every day. I am happy to review your essays or hear you practice a speech. I’m honored that you choose to have me look at your homework and pick out your outfits. Listening to your school drama is always a good time because it always sparks more stories for me to tell. I will always be real with you and give you advice that I truly think is helpful. I will always be here for you, no matter how far, and I know you will be too.

Being so far from you should be hard, but it’s not. We make it possible to keep in touch and we make a point to catch up on each other's lives when it’s been a while. You are the absolute best and I’m so grateful to have you in my life. Thank you for everything. I can’t imagine my college experience without you.

I can’t wait to see you next, even if we don’t know when that will be. Thank you for your endless love and support, you mean the world to me.

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.
