It's My Turn To Give To You, My Friends Back At Home

I want you to know that I appreciate you, and it's my turn to give, rather than take.

Hey guys, whats up?

I hope you're all doing well in school and doing the things you love. I miss you guys so much! I wish I was there to encourage you guys all the time, but I can't. I hope you are all working hard in school since I'm not there to bother you about your grades anymore. I can text, but you can also ignore them, ha! I hope you are auditioning for plays and trying out for teams because I know how talented you all are.

To my friend back at home, I want you to know how much I miss you.

I miss having a familiar place, along with my familiar friends. I miss having a number to text for someone to come over just to sit around. I miss having an unspoken plan for the day when you guys come over. I miss the random surprises of food and face masks. I miss having someone to vent to about local people that we both dislike. You guys, my friends, are my familiar place.

You guys know what I love, you know how to make my day. You guys know how I feel just by my facial expressions. I miss planning random trips that we hope to go on one day. You guys show me new music because you know how much I love new music. You guys do things for me because you want to, and I miss that.

I know I am being selfish, but you guys help me through so many problems I have. I want you to know that I appreciate that. I want you to know that I miss you guys. I want you to know that I will be there for you. I want you to know that I will come home for any event you ask me to. I want you to know that I will always be there for you, just like you were for me. I am being selfish, because I depend on you guys, but it's your turn to be selfish.

If you guys ever need something - anything - call me, text me, hell you can even send me a letter!

It is your turn to be selfish. I want to be there for you, for whatever it may be. I want to give back all you have done for me, because you deserve it. I want to help you search for colleges, find new jobs, decide your majors, and support you no matter what. I want you to be selfish, because I appreciate you, and it's your turn to take what I have to offer.

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.
