A Bittersweet Goodbye To My Summer Co-Workers

Thanks for making work not so bad.

To my fellow co-workers,

I want to start off by saying thank you for making this summer bearable, even somewhat fun at times. I went into this summer with high hopes, and although it definitely wasn't the summer I wanted it to be, I'm so grateful I had you guys right there with me.

Getting up at 6:30 am every day was definitely not my favorite part of the day by any means, but you guys made it worth it. Even if I came in dreading having to be there, you managed to put a smile on my face and make me laugh.

Kids are tiring, this is a known fact. Having to watch them and take care of them is our job, and I never left not feeling exhausted. But there were the good times where we would laugh and play and make the most out of us all being tired. If we are tired and not feeling it, might as well be together, right?

You guys are honestly some of my favorite people, and you've taught me so much. Every day I go to work, I get excited to see you all and hear about your lives and learn more about you. I also love our group chat and know that we will keep it going even after we all head our separate ways for the fall.

Thank you guys for making my summer a lot less boring, and for not just being my co-workers, but also my friends. I'll miss you a lot when I go back to school, but I know you're both only a phone call or text away if I need anything. I'll see y'all in December!

Love,

Allison

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.
