To My College Family The Tough Times Brought Closer Together
Haylee Olley

To my College Friends (Well, my second family),

I can't describe or even begin to explain how much you mean to me. This past semester has been rough for all of us, and weirdly, it's brought our friend group so much closer.

I'm so thankful for every one of you even though sometimes, I don't seem like it. I wanted to thank each of you individually for getting me through this rough semester.

I love you all so much.

When I came to college, I was terrified of making friends when in reality, I did not need to be scared. When I first met Paige, she welcomed me in with open arms, and we've been attached at the hip ever since.

Paige, thank you so much for having my back. Every day is an adventure with you, no joke, and I couldn't ask for a better friend than you. Thank you for always having my back and being the best friend and older sister to me that I could ever ask for. I love you so much.

Jimmy, now its time to roast you. Just kidding, in all seriousness, you are my best guy friend. I thank God for Paige introducing us because now we cause chaos together!

Thank you for always supporting me, and being the older brother I've always wanted. And thank you for being my shoulder to cry on. I love you so much.

Brooke, my first roommate (we won't mention the other) I miss you so much. But you've always had my back from the beginning, even though we fight sometimes, we always make up in the end.

Thank you for always being there for me, and I promise to still be there for you. I love you so much.

Nat, my former roommate, meeting you was a blessing and a curse...just kidding. You are my absolute best friend, and I don't know what id do without you. Thank you for being my rock, and keeping me (kind of) out of trouble, I love you!

Becca, I have been graced with your presence this semester, and there's no one else I would rather insult. Thank you for being the greatest freshie and friend that I could ever ask for. And I can't wait to see what next semester brings--I love you!

But in all seriousness, I have many friends on campus, but these individuals have gotten me through the darkest moments in college. So to you, five, lovely individuals.. thank you so much for everything.

Here's to many more years of laughter and friendship...thank you so much for everything. I love you

Love,

Haylee

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.
