A Letter To My High School Best Friends

Dear High School Best Friends,

You know who you are. A small group of you fell into this category. I am lucky to have had four amazing years with you and I am lucky to still call you my best friends, even though we have been out of high school for a year and half now.

Thank you for always being there for me. You were there to save me a spot on the first day of Spanish class. You were there to study with me for math. You were there to see all of my shows. You were there for the rough days and you were there for the great days, and looking back, we had some really great days (senior skip day, anyone?).

Thank you for always making me laugh. Would we have really gotten through high school without all of those inside jokes?

Thanks for putting up with all of my terrible judgement in guys....you always warned me, but I never listened until after the fact.

Thank you for letting me drag you to all of those class events because I needed people to help with the talent show, bake sale, or the class color run. I know that I was not always the easiest to work with during those times, and I probably complained and vented to you a lot.

Thank you for the memories. I have countless amazing moments with you all, whether it be carpool karaoke on the way to field hockey or senior prom. I relish in the amazing times we had and still have together. Thank you for giving me so many amazing moments that I will cherish forever.

Most importantly, thank you for never forgetting about me. We all know college is crazy, but you all do your best to stay in touch. Whether it be a simple Happy Halloween text or a snap of the asbestos problem at your school, it makes my day knowing that you thought of me. I know we all don't talk as much as we want to, thanks to the never-ending amounts of homework, but no matter how long we go without talking, it is always easy to pick up where we left off.

I think it is a true testament to our friendship that no matter how far we go, we always find a way back to each other.

I know it's not always the easiest, but thanks for putting up with me.

Love,

Sam

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.
