To My Friends Who I Lost As We Went Our Separate Ways Because of College,

I want to say thank you. Thank you for making high school so bittersweet and for making such great memories with me for the past 4 years, which I will always cherish. Thank you for being there for me through the ups and downs we had in our high school days, thank you for all the get-togethers we had on Friday nights, the endless sleepovers, the jamming out to Disney songs, and the list can go on.

It kind of hurts, if you really think about it, how we all went to college whether it was the same state or different states, and now we just text here and there or sometimes never. We went from seeing eachother basically everyday, and texting eachother nonstop, to now barely even seeing eachother. We always bragged about how college and the whole distance thing, wouldn't get in the way.. but it did. We all made new friends and thats okay, because that's what college is about; commuting or living in a dorm, starting with a clean slate, and making new and everlasting friendships.

Sometimes, I think back to the past, and I just wish what we had, could've stayed stronger. But that's life, am I right? I'm happy for what we all shared and what we all made, but I'm very happy we all moved on with our lives. High school friends are so much different than college friends. College friends understand you, and know where you're coming from. Sometimes, you just click with those types of people and being you basically live with one another, you form a type of bond that you want to keep forever. High school friends are temporary. You see these people everyday, 5 days a week, but once you're off to college, you somewhat drift apart. But you really wanna know what hurts the most? Coming home for summer break and seeing your 'high school best friends' hang out without you, posting stories on snapchat.. and they're the ones who said "We NEED to see eachother when we're home from college, we can't let college get in the way." FUNNY.

Honestly, I feel like the friendship we had, will never be the same and thats okay.

All in all, I hope you are doing well, and I hope to one day, reconnect. However, thank you for making so many memories with me.


Sincerely,

Your Used To Be Best Friend

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.
