An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Another School

Everyone has that one best friend they basically did everything with. My best friend happened to live around the corner from me.

To say I am appreciative is an understatement. @NORA (what people call her, her name is Noa) there is no one else I would rather eat with (yes I love the food at your house its amazing), watch TV with (Laguna Beach will forever & ever & ever be our show), and most importantly get through high school with. We always had each others backs through it all whether that was in our favorite class biology or our favorite class math with our favorite teacher ever.

In 9th grade Noa & I had english class together. We were reading the book Of Mice & Men and called ourselves Lennie & George because I'm tall and she's small. We thought it was the funniest thing ever.

One time I decided it would be a good idea to wear ugg slippers with no socks to school and it was pouring rain so I made Noa come and pick me up. She still makes fun of me for that. Still sorry.

Another fun memory is when I came up with her bat mitzvah theme. Noa loved that so raven so I came up with the theme "That So Noa" for her. Yes I thought that was the coolest thing ever at the time.


Nothing beats when Noa and I decided to play volleyball together. We lost every single game and I could not get the ball over the net and happened to be the tallest one on the team. I even remember once I asked the coach to sit out because I didn't feel like playing. Dedication is key. This picture says it all.


Noa and I used to take this Dance Jam class together and we honestly didn't sweat once but to be honest it was so fun. WORK.


This one time I dragged Noa to come with me to meet the fashion blogger We Wore What. This blogger has millions of Instagram followers and she had no idea who she was. I thought it was the funniest thing ever that they took a picture together.


This is Noa & I with our favorite teacher ever.


Even though Noa and I don't see eachother everyday whenever we are both home at the same time its like we never left. I am so lucky to have had a best friend like her all these years. Love you George.

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.
