To a precious friend on their birthday,

Happy, happy birthday my dear friend. I hope your day is special and filled with frosting, sprinkles and wonderful celebrations. You deserve it. I miss you like crazy. If there was a way for me to drop what I am doing and come to see you on your birthday, I would. Sadly the cross-country travel is a little difficult at this time. If there was a way for me to pack up, even for just a day, to come and spend your birthday with you, know that I would be with you in a heartbeat.

I miss you more than you know. The late night talks with you are what kept me sane last semester. I knew that summer would be lonely without you, but I didn’t expect it to feel like this. There are so many times I expect to walk right down the hall and see you there, but you aren’t, and my brother is. Unfortunately, he doesn’t give the same hugs that you do and offer the same great advice.

And I wish that I was there for you, too. It isn’t like I am the only one with problems to face. I know that you have things going on as well, and I wish that I could be there for you to help you with them. Hopefully, you have someone at home to talk to. If not, sit down and write them to me in a letter. I will do my best to help you out in any way that I can.

Next semester we will have a true celebration for you. You deserve it for sure. I can make your favorite cake, and I will save the bowl so that you can lick the batter. One random morning you will wake up to a decorated room. I cannot tell you when — that is a part of your long-awaited birthday surprise. We can stay up late, watch a movie you like, or get dressed up and go out to dinner. You choose, it will be your (way) late birthday treat.

May God bless you on your birthday, my friend. May he shower you with his gifts and you feel his strong presence throughout your special day. I will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Just know that I love you so much and thank God that I have someone special like you in my life every day. He has truly blessed me by letting me have such an amazing friend like you. If you ever feel alone and think that there is no one there this summer, smile and remember how much I love and miss you and know that I am beyond blessed to have you in my life.

Love,

Your 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.
