A Letter To My Twin
Asphen Beard

Dear Twin,

Well we do not really look much alike. We don't have the same last name either. We biologically are not even related, but you are my twin and I will love you more than you will ever know.

You will always be the Ivory to my Ebony, sweet thang. There is no one else I would rather run over curbs with in Big Bertha (your jeep). Or get whip lash due to your extremely sharp turns. It's okay, being a good driver isn't everything in life.

I don't have a Range Rover or a tattoo on my shoulder, but I'll always be closer to you. With that being said, you can always leave a toothbrush at my place. Or maybe I should just leave mine at yours... I do practically live there at times.

The first time we met was the most awkward encounter of my freshman year. It has made for many laughs today though. You went from being the girl I got lost with on campus, to my best friend. I am so thankful for that night and our sorority bringing us closer.

I will always hold your hand in public when you want or to just embarrass you, whichever tends to come first. What are twins for?

Thank you for watching me ugly cry like Kim Kardashian and not judge me for it. There is no one else I would want to pick me up at 1am just to let me vent. Also, thank you for letting me know the guy that broke my heart was never worth it.

Having you by my side has made the college experience a little more easier and much more fun. There is no one else half my size I would rather chest bump. Or spend my entire Saturday morning searching for because I accidentally lost you. Shout out to the Find My Friends app, we will never lose each other again.

I will always be around to quote That 70's Show and support even your bad decisions. Remember all of those? Yeah its okay, lets not.

You have stuck it out with me the past two years, I hope you can stick around for a lifetime. I mean who else is going to make fun of my kids and take them turkey hunting?

Thank you for giving me memories that I can never forget. Some of which can never be shared in an article. Thank you for fighting with me like a sister and literally being my twin.

You are my person and I will always be yours. There is no one else on this earth that I can connect with more. I will love you as my best friend forever and always.

Love,

Your Twin

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.
