To My High School Best Friends
Raven Stikes

Dear Best Friends,

As I enter my sophomore year of college and further my education, I have started to look back on my memories of high school and You typically are in most if not all of them from classes to football games to the time we "built" a door. You were there and we still laugh about it to this day. We've seen each other at some of our lowest points and even been mad at one another for trying to protect the other from trouble and hurt. I know it's hard to believe that it has been a year since we graduated. It seems like just yesterday we were meeting by the stairwells before classes to talk about all the gossip we refused to say over texting. We have all chosen our different paths. A couple of you have gotten engaged and had a beautiful baby.

Although it may seem like I've moved on and made new friends while I have been away at school, I don't ever stop missing you all. You can ask any of my friends I never shut up about the crazy times we have had. Although we have all went in our different directions you all will always be my friends. I know we may not speak all the time but I mean it's harder now with us all having adult lives.

You all have seen some of my worst moments and my best achievements. You all know my biggest pet peeves, my favorite comedies and how I have learned some of my biggest life lessons from the Lifetime Movie Network. What made you guys my friends wasn't the fact that I hated one of you for awhile or the fact that one of you was my neighbor. But the fact that when I was wrong or I looked terrible you were never afraid to tell me to get up and dust myself off and try again. You all were never just my best friends. Somewhere during high school you became apart of my family and decided that my parents and siblings weren't all that bad and stuck around for that I congratulate you.

If there were ever anything I would want you to remember it would be that although I may have new best friends they could never take your place because believe it or not you all know way too much about me and I know way too much about you and we have way too many memories together for you to get rid of me. Always remember that even though I may be 3 hours away I am only one call away. No matter the time. Even if I am sleeping (Yes I'll be slightly upset) I will answer because no matter the situation I will have your back. Just face the fact I am like a disease you just can't get rid of (#SorryNotSorry).

Love Your Eternal Bestie,

Raven Stikes

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.
