We made it through this summer together

A Goodbye Letter to my Summer Co-Workers

Dear summer co-workers, but more importantly friends,

We did it. We survived another summer. I’m so proud of us. I really don’t think I would have made it without you guys. Another year is down in the books, and now it’s time to go back to school for all of us. While I’m excited for summer to be over and to go back to school, there’s going to be a big piece of my life missing, and that’s you guys.

We have gotten super close the past few months. You’ve seen me at my best this summer, and my worst this summer. You’ve seen me happy to be in for that day, and cranky and dreading the day. Some of you have even seen me cry (they were happy tears I swear). You have gotten to know me really well. Even those who I have worked with in the past learned more about me. I know that I can depend on you guys, because, well, I depend on you guys at work; I kind of have to. You guys are my number one support system, and I go to you guys for everything.

We have had a lot of weird things happen at work, and I tell you guys right away because I know you’ll get a kick out of it. It seems that weird events only happen where we work, and it’s completely normal. We also deal with a lot of disrespectful people (shout out to the public on that one). I know that if someone frustrates me, I can turn to you, and you completely understand. You guys always make me feel better about it, and usually we’re joking about something else two minutes later.

We spend so much time together at work, but I guess I just can’t get enough of you. I’m always willing to spend time with you guys outside of work. I live for our bonding activities, and I wish we had more. From bowling to paint nights, all things I’m not good at, but yet I still have a blast because of you guys.

People wonder why I go to work with a smile on my face, even though our job isn’t the most ideal job. It’s because of you guys. You make going in to work something I can actually look forward to. You have brought out the best in me this summer, and I’m grateful for the experiences we’ve had together. I will always cherish the memories that we have made. Thank you with putting up with me, for putting up with the public with me, and making work fun.

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.
