To The Friends I Never Saw Coming This Semester

I love you.

To The Friends I Never Saw Coming This Semester

Hey, you.

By now we know each other pretty well. We hang almost every day and we have gotten to be the best of friends. It is funny how life works that way. The most funny thing of all is that I barely knew you last semester. College is weird in the way that one second you could not know anyone at all and the next second you could be best friends with them. You came into my life when I needed you, whether I knew it or not. College is such a weird time in your life and it is very important to grow as a person during this time and to be making friends that you know will be by your side for the rest of your life.

At the start of this semester I knew I wasn't the same person I was last semester. I grew up and as this semester has gone on I have realized that more and more every day. I never expected us to be the best of friends that we are now. I knew who you were coming into this semester but I never thought I would know you more than just your name. Looking back now on this semester, I have no idea what I would have done if we didn't become the best of friends.

I have learned so much about you that I never thought I would know. We have spent countless nights in the library laughing over stupid stuff until 1 AM rather than doing our homework. I’m thankful for our breakfast, lunch, and dinner dates. I'm thankful for all the smiles and car rides we have gone on. Thank you for understanding me and loving me even though I might be a weirdo. I will be forever thankful for being put in some of the similar classes this semester because if we weren't in the same classes we might not be the best of friends that we are now.

Once this semester ends I know we will stay friends because the memories we have made in the short period of time that we have become friends are irreplaceable. The laughter we have shared will always stay close to my heart especially when I am across the pond next semester. I will never forget all the late night food runs to Trax or Aerie Cafe trying to spend all of Abby's dining dollars.

It saddens me to know that next semester I won't get to see you everyday but I know face time calls will be a weekly occurrence. I'll be able to look back on pictures of this semester and smile because you taught me what it means to have a best friend. Don't worry I won't forget about you when I am living in London next semester.

Once again, thank you.

I love you.

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.
