A Letter To My Friends At The Start Of Our Senior Year
Meredith Bennett

To all of my friends at the start of our senior year,

We did it! It's crazy to think how long this journey has been. Some of you have been my friend from the start, and some of you I met along the way. Time flew by way too fast. It's crazy to think that we are already at the end of our journey, when it seems like just yesterday we were moving into our freshman residence halls. I wish we could go back and relive some of the wonderful memories that we have experienced, but I know that there are so many more great times that will come this year.

I hope that we cherish all of the moments that happen this year, because our college experience is about to come to an end. There are so many things I want to experience along with all of you by my side, and I can't wait to see what this year brings.

I remember all of the good times, the bad times, and all of the nights where we just stayed up and talked about how crazy college has been. Thank you all for always being there for me, for studying with me until midnight, and for encouraging me to experience new things every day.

I hope that we stay in touch once we graduate. I know that we are all off to bigger and better things, but all of you have impacted my life in such a positive way, I can't imagine not seeing all of you every day like I do now. I hope that we stand in each other's weddings, we keep in touch once we grow older and have kids, and we visit to catch up on everything that we will go through over the years to come.

There have been so many ups and downs throughout these past few years of college. I can't imagine having gone through all of those good and bad times without you all by my side to vent to, to laugh with, and to get advice from.

College goes by way too fast, and I wish it could last forever (even though some days I know I am ready to grow up). I hope all of you achieve your dream careers, and I hope all of the plans we talk about until 2 a.m. in the morning actually happen in our futures. Thank you for everything you have done, and I cannot wait to experience my last year in college with all of you.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
