A Letter To My Best Friend On Graduation
Teen Life

Let me be one of the first, other than your parents, to say congratulations on your college graduation! It's hard to believe that three short years ago, we were decorating our graduation caps and were about to walk across the stage together at our high school graduation. It's even harder to believe that you're now about to walk across the stage to receive your college diploma and that three years flew by in just the blink of an eye. I am so beyond proud of you for everything that you have accomplished over the last three years and especially of the woman that you have become. You may have gone off to college, joined a sorority and gained many new sisters and friendships along the way, but our 10-year friendship can never be compared.

You are my rock, my best friend, the sister I never had, my shoulder to cry on and the one person that makes me laugh until I cry. You mean the absolute world to me and I can't ask for a better best friend. Over the last three years while we were away from each other and have probably only seen each other about a handful of times, every time we reunite, it's as if everything was set on pause because nothing has ever changed. I can't ever thank you enough for all of the late night sober and drunk phone calls, FaceTimes and texts, all of the advice that you have ever given me and all of your crazy stories that always make me laugh.

You are the one person that I know I can always depend on and trust with my life, and I am so lucky and blessed to be able to call you my best friend. I can't wait to have you standing next to me on my wedding day. Although I will miss you tremendously this summer living on the island, I am so proud of you for getting your first "big girl", "'real world" job and living on your own in New York. Your company is extremely lucky to have you and I know that you will kill it. I can't wait to visit! I love you lots and can't wait to see what the future holds for us and our friendship. Congratulations and cheers to my best friend on her college graduation day; you did 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.
