A Letter To My Quad Squad

The four best friends that we will always be and if something were to ever happen, this is what I would like each of you to know.

A Letter To My Quad Squad
Alyssa Olsem

Dear Quad Squad,

We are made up of food runs, perverted jokes, and day long shopping trips. We laugh at and with each other. We tell each other how it is and aren't afraid to hold back our own opinions. We are four completely different human beings that have come together to take on the world, just as we are about to separate and embark on our own adventures in college. As we begin to part ways soon, anything could happen to any one of us.

In a year or two, we may no longer be friends and may become acquaintances, or our bond may have grown stronger within distance. Who knows what the world has in store for us, so let's have cheers to the few weeks we have left together. Cheers to the arguments we have experienced and grown from, cheers to the insane giggle fits at any time of day, and cheers to the love we have for each other.

This whole summer, we have planned around each other's schedules and now that it is August, we have to schedule around our departure dates. We have experienced so much together, and I have admired each of you since we first met. I aspire to have the confidence each of you contains.

You are all beautiful in your own ways, and your souls glow with warmth and kindness. You all will have successful and bright futures ahead of you and I can't wait to watch your life unfold before your eyes. I appreciate your care for me more than you could ever know.

I hope you will all receive the love you deserve from a significant other, don't settle because you deserve to be treated and respected like the queens you are. I know this isn't goodbye for forever, but as we move on to bigger and better things in the world, I want you to remember the little things.

The silence between us as we eat our ice cream in the shop, the sing-along dance jams in the car, the forgiveness we give each other after an argument, the way each of us talk when we are passionate about something, the way our face brightens and the hugs we give to each other after we go to long without seeing each other, and the way each of us smiles when we were truly happen.

The love I have for the Quad Squad is endless and I hope I never have to say goodbye to any one of you. Thank you for the love and support.

Sincerely,

1/4 of the Quad Squad

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.
