A Letter To My College Friends As We Start Our Second Year Together
Sam Scherer

We have under a month until we return to our beautiful campus. A lot is going to change for us. Some of our friends have left and now it is just us. Some of you are about to graduate and leave the rest of us behind. So let's make it a great year.

Well for me, it will only be half a year. Since I am going away, I wanted to let you all know that it is very bittersweet to be studying abroad. Believe me, I am super excited and cannot wait to see more of Europe. But it does make me sad that I will be leaving all of you behind, even though it is only 15 weeks. I hope that you guys have fun without me though and know that this will not change a thing about our friendship.

I already cannot wait to be back from my little adventure so that I can be reunited with all of you. That may sound bad, wanting to come home already and I have not even left yet, but it will be weird going to college without you guys will there to join me. That will be strange if I am being completely honest. I will not be able to come back to my room and have one of you be there. Instead, I will be sharing a room with someone I do not even know yet. You will be living with my stuff in your room, but not me.

I look forward to our weekly video chats and Snapchatting every day (have to keep those streaks up am I right?) from wherever I am. But this first semester is going to go by quickly and soon I will be back with all of you, getting ready to start our second semester. I am already so excited for that to happen it is not funny. It is going to be awesome getting to live with my best friends. We will be together all the time and it is just going to be great. I already know.

To my friends that are going to be seniors, we only have 15 weeks of college left together. That is crazy. It is hard to imagine that that is it. After that we will no longer go to college together. I hope that when I get back, we make the most of our time together because it is going to go fast. And then who knows what will happen. That is sad, but it is the truth.

So to all of you, my friends, I hope that you do not have too much fun without me. While I cannot wait for my European adventure, I cannot wait to be back with you. With the time we have together, let's make this second year even better than the first.

Love,

Your friend

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.
