A Letter To My Best Friend
Kennedy Muirhead

To my best friend,

Thank you for everything. Even though you live pretty far away, you've managed to be my No. 1 support system throughout this entire summer. Meeting you on bid day was probably the best thing that has happened to me, and I am so grateful for you. You're always just a face time, or 48-minute drive away, and it's amazing.

Thank you for listening to my insecurities every time a boy doesn't act exactly the way I want him to act. Thank you for bringing me back down to earth when I get a little too self-confident. Thank you for always having your door open for me and the endless conversations we have about everything. It's funny how I've known you for six months and yet I'm closer with you than people I've known my entire life. I could literally drive around with you listening to Drake and have the time of my life. You do my makeup without question and help pick just the right outfit every single time. If it weren't for you, I honestly don't know who my best friend would be right now, and honestly I don't really want to know. Whenever something small happens to me, you're the first person I tell and I love it when you tell me the good things that happen to you, too. I know that no matter what happens I'll have you by my side rooting me on.

Our friendship has just begun, but we have a lifetime of memories to make from it. Thank you for being my rock in an oh-so-unstable world. Thank you for listening to Pop Style 17 times a night and not complaining once. You real for that. Thanks for not making fun of me for listening to G-Eazy. I appreciate that. Thanks for watching me dance around your room and not documenting it on Snapchat. But most importantly, thank you for being you. I couldn't possibly ask for a better best friend than you.

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.
