An Open Letter To My Hometown Best Friends
Sydney MacMann

Dear Best Friends,

Whenever we went our separate ways for college, it felt like a little piece of my heart was leaving. I knew it was coming, but it certainly did not make it any easier. It is a huge adjustment when you are so used to doing every single thing with your favorite people, from yearbook staff, student council, to literally having every single class together all of high school.

First off, I want to say thank you. Thank you for always being on my side when I needed you girls the most. Senior year was hands down the hardest year of my life, and you all never failed to bring a little sunshine to my day. With all the constant changes, it was so encouraging to know that our friendship was constant. Thank you for always being there to help me, whether it be with a math problem, because you all know I needed a lot of help on that, or giving me encouragement and the best advice. Thank you for encouraging me to accomplish my goals and giving me the confidence to be my true, authentic self. Thank you for knowing me so well that you can tell when I am not feeling myself, and thank you for loving me on even my worst days.

Finally, thank you for the sweetest friendship a girl could ask for, I am forever grateful.

I am so incredibly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life. My favorite thing about our friendship is that distance does not matter. Whenever we see each other, it feels like nothing has changed. When I look back on my favorite memories from high school, you four are in every single one of them. I am so proud to call you amazing humans my best friends, forever and always.

I am also so proud to call each of you my best friends. I am so proud of you. I look up to you in more ways than you know and I am, again, forever grateful for you. Y'all have truly shaped me into the woman I am today.

You ladies deserve the absolute world. Never stop shining and growing. Everyone you surround yourself is so lucky to know you, I know I am. I am so excited to see everything that y'all accomplish in the next years of our lives. I am always there rooting for you, even if it is from a distance. Here's to many more years of sweet friendship, good cups of coffee, and encouraging chats.

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.
