Appreciation For The Girls That Have Taught Me To Live In The Moment
Of Opinions

As I sit sipping minty hot chocolate and listening to your sound cloud on full blast, I can't help but smile. I should be doing my homework, but instead I am enthralled by the laughter that is echoing throughout the room. Without you, I would most likely be stressing over all the tasks I have to complete by the end of the day in order to prepare for the upcoming week, but instead I am living in the moment and enjoying your company. We talk about silly things and watch people outside the window walking by. And while there is so much to be done, I do not feel the weight of my workload on my shoulders. As if, all of a sudden, I don't mind doing the two hour latin assignment, because it just means more time studying with my girls.

You help me with my physics when I am stuck on a problem, and in return I edit your english paper. You feed me mac and cheese because even though I never told you I was hungry, you knew it would really make my day. When one of us has to clean her room, we all take on the project, because nothing works better than team work. And really, who are we kidding, you did not make such a mess all by yourself. Your room is my room. We share clothes, paint one another's nails and talk candid pictures of one another when one of us is looking beautiful and happy. You even make me soup when I am sick and become my at-home nurse.

But you girls are so much more than that. You are the ones to reassure me after I get a bad test grade that it is not the end of the world. You boast my confidence when I am super nervous. You make me laugh after I have been crying for hours. And when I just need a good cry, you let me. You give me advice and even yell at me when I am being rude or selfish. Nothing compares to my girls, and without them, I don't know where I would be. Because, while of course my grades and sports performances are vital to my success in the future, they do not teach me to live in the moment and surround myself with people I love.

Dedicated to my bffs & sisters:

Soph, Hills, Ash, Christina, Grace and Stine

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.
