A Letter To My Brother

You're still my little brother, even if you are taller than me.

A Letter To My Brother
Kyndal Goss

Dear little brother,

As your birthday is quickly approaching, I'm starting to realize how fast you're growing up. It seems like yesterday you only weighed 10 pounds and Mom was getting onto me for carrying you all around the house like you were my own baby doll or something, and now in a few short weeks, you will be starting middle school. I know we argue sometimes (a lot) and we don't like the same things (you play Xbox and I play with make-up) but I can't imagine life without you.

You will be starting middle school in a couple weeks, and there are going to be lots of new things for you to do and see. I will help you out in any way I can, whether it be showing you how to open a locker, helping you with homework or just giving you advice (although I will have to alter my girl drama stories a little bit). I'm so glad that even though I am in college, I am still a few minutes away so I can do these things or even pick you up from school (is that cool or not?).

I'm glad I have you to share things with, especially when it comes to our eating habits (no matter where we go, I will always find us some chicken tenders or pizza). We have dietary preferences of 3-year-olds, but I am glad we are the same so I don't feel as bad about it!

I am so proud of you for all you have done, whether it be making honor roll at school or learning a new trick with your yo-yo. Even though you are taller than me now, you will always be my little brother. Remember that!

Love,

Your big sissy

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.
