Thank You Letter To Arts Fest

Dear arts fest, thank you.

1. Thank you for allowing me back to my favorite place.

By the middle of the summer, I am planning trips to go visit all the friends I miss so much. I am busy with summer classes, an internship, and a real job. However, I am in a deep need to get back to my happy place.

2. Thank you for blowing up my Instagram.

Shout out to all the people who travel every year for the Festival of the Arts. We enjoy our time together, we meet new friends, we reunite with old ones, and we take more pictures in one weekend than we do in an entire summer. There is nothing better than waking up from a nap after a long day and seeing all your favorite people in one place again.

3. Thank you for bringing me back together with my favorite people.

They say the friends you meet in college last you a lifetime. I would have to agree with that statement. The friends you can't wait to see during this weekend are the friends who will be there forever. However many miles away they live, you all come together for one memorable weekend in the summer.

4. Thank you for letting me pretend I am a summer session freshman again.

Thinking that I don't have that much longer at this amazing university is astonishing. I feel like I should be moving into my freshman dorm, rather than my junior year apartment. Walking down the streets in the summer and going to apartments for fun let me pretend the real world is farther away than it is.

5. Thank you for draining my bank account.

Arts fest is no inexpensive feat. The car, the parking tickets, the gas, the snacks, the beverages, and the occasional uber all add up. You think it is a weekend filled with fun at no expense. However, the lack of parking leads to a ticket, the food is costly because order up is the only thing you used, the beverages are always in demand, and the Uber surcharge is exorbitant. Despite it all though, it is worth it.

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.
