To The High School Friends Who Make It So Easy To Come Home, Thank Y'all
Brooklyn Blaylock

Dear high school best friends,

There's actually quite a few of you, and I'm eternally thankful for that.

I thought that the second that I left for college and was quite the distance away from y'all that we would lose touch.

But that wasn't the case at all.

Whether we communicated every day or once per month, I knew for a fact that you guys would always be there no matter what I needed. I lived for the "life update" texts you would all send or the random bible verses, the sparks of encouragement or the FaceTime calls.

I have encountered people while in college talking about how they never wanted to go back to high school because of their old friends.

Granted, I wouldn't necessarily want to go back to high school either, but I've been given the gift of eternal friendship by some of the most incredible people, thanks to high school.

Each one of you has taught me more things than I could possibly write, but I just wanted to let you know how much you are loved.

You will ALWAYS have a place in my heart, whether we grow apart or stay friends forever.

Thank you for encouraging me when I felt down, for supporting me through every decision I've made and for constantly being there.

Each of y'all deserves the world and so much more. I'm so thankful I get to have amazing people to come home to, no matter where we end up.

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.
