To My High School Best Friends

What we did in high school, stays in high school --- not.

To My High School Best Friends

Dear High School besties,

First off—I miss you like crazy. Even though we still manage to make time for each other when we are home on our breaks, I miss us. Remember the start of 9th grade when we first became best friends because we bonded over something like your ridiculous ringtone? Or when we discovered that we should be partners in biology? I remember. Those were the key points to the start of our crazy friendship.

I never really had the chance to thank you for being my best friend in high school. You were there for me when I went through my first breakup, when I learned how to drive, when we went on a trip without our parents, and when I did something crazy rebellious. Then again, we were there for each other. What about that very first time we got drunk at a party and thought we were so cool and then got caught sneaking back in, which wasn't so cool. Or when you drove over the boulder in my front yard and I convinced you the car sounded fine. All those crazy times, we tackled together. No matter what we did, we supported each other.

All those things that we did together in high school and all of the memories we took to college are memories that I will forever cherish. High school was one of the best times of my life and it's because of you. The countless memories of driving with the windows down jamming to rap music, from staying out late with each other talking for hours or trying to find every possible excuse to cut class and go to the mall.

We were through it all. And although we graduated and went to different schools, our friendship has not changed one bit. As we grew from the start of our teenage years to become almost adults, you helped shape me into the crazy person I am today. I'm so thankful I had a friend like you by my side. I'm so glad that we still manage to find time to see each other-- whether we visit each other or just see each other when we're home. High school would not have been the same without you and I'm so happy that we experienced everything together. Here is to many more years to come bestie!

With love,

Your high school best 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.
