Dear Mom,

Now that freshman year is over, I just wanted to share all the things that I have dreadfully missed about you and home and how thankful I am for all the things you do for me, even if we're so far away.

We are like best friends, so I thank you for listening to me and all problems throughout this year and helping me come up with a solution every time.

Thank you for always having my back, no matter the situation.

Thank you for always telling me you are proud of the things I have done, and the things I am going to do.

Thank you for believing in my dream, because it is also now your own.

Thank you for always treating me fairly and not pushing me too hard, just hard enough.

Thank you for teaching me the importance of self-independence and to always work hard for myself.

Thank you for always having the right answer.

Thank you for showing me how to be independent so I didn't completely freak out at college, well, sort of.

Thank you for always accepting my calls and texts, even if they're at bad times.

Thank you for being my biggest role model.

Thank you for having a great sense of humor.

Thank you for liking all the same things that I do.

Thank you for always putting me before yourself, even if you don't have to.

Thank you for always being willing to make my favorite foods when I'm home.

Thank you for loving everything about me and never judging me.

Thank you for constantly reminding me that you love me.

Thank you for being weird with me.

Thank you for always telling me when I'm wrong in a nice way.

Thank you for always hanging out with me.

Thank you for knowing that school is hard.

Thank you for being just as excited to see me whether it's been one week or one month.

Thank you for being just as excited as I am about new opportunities I get.

Thank you for putting up with my unrealistic financial needs.

Thank you for never telling me what I needed to do with my life.

Thank you for being the best mom I could ask for.

Thank you, mom, for being you and letting me be me and being my best friend every day, you'll never know how much I appreciate the things you do for me, I love you.

Love,

Your daughter

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.
