I'm the Girl Who Is Close to Her Mom

She's my best friend

I'm the Girl Who Is Close to Her Mom

I'm that girl who loves endlessly, just like my mom taught me. She taught me so many things - how to do laundry at college, how to handle stressful situations, when to cry and just how much ice cream to eat when that happens, and she's taught me how to be the girl I am today.

My mom is my best friend, shoulder to cry on, and my biggest supporter that I have. She is always on my side, except when I forget to clean my room for the second day in a row, but she always supports me. From boy problems to college, she has always helped me more than anyone.

I'm that girl who calls her mom once a day, if not twice. Whether I'm walking to class or laying in bed, I'm always FaceTiming my mom and telling her about my day or the dog I just saw. And no, I am not ashamed of it either.

There have been plenty of people who ask, "Why do you always involve your mom in the things that are going on in your life?" it's because she always has my best interest at heart. She always tells me how she sees it, whether I agree or disagree. For those who say I'm too close to my her or ask why I tell my mom so much about my life, I constantly find myself pondering how they couldn't. Family is so important to me. Without them, I wouldn't be half the girl I am today.

My mom always knows what to say and how to say it. I tell her everything, even if it means I could get in trouble for it. There are days that I needed a stern lecture when I've messed up, or when I needed to celebrate because I finished my homework a day early. She's my biggest supporter and best friend. Without her by my side, I know I couldn't have accomplished half of the things I have today. I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.

Being away from home at college is hard enough as it is, but I think it would be unbearable if I didn't have the support of my family constantly. They always want what's best for me and what will make me happy.

My family is my everything. Truly. They've taught me so much in general, but they've also helped me become who I am today. Without them, I know that I would not be the girl I am today.

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.
