To My Sibling Starting Their Senior Year

Where did that little kid go that I never wanted to be around?

To my sibling starting their senior year,

To say that I’m proud is an understatement. To say I’m amazed by all that you have accomplished is not close enough. To say that I’m blessed to have you as a sibling will never fully express how truly blessed I actually am.

I remember when you were that little annoying kid that never seemed to leave me alone and always wanted to hang out with my friends and me. You would cry over what seemed to me as the dumbest of things and got mad at me for the smallest of things. We never seemed to get along no matter what Mom and Dad did. I would always ask you to grow up and act a little more mature. And I always had to worry about you.

Now looking at you, as you are off staring senior year I am in awe. I wonder to myself, where did that little kid go that I never wanted to be around? What happened to the person that was always extremely embarrassing? When did you become the person that I look up to the most out of everyone in this world? Who will be the next person you make a difference in the life of? How did you grow up so fast?

This year is going to be at times an absolute mess. Other times it will fill you with so much joy and pride that you can do nothing but smile. It will be the busiest year of your entire life, filled with many late nights and what seems like an endless stack of scholarship applications. You may find that your friends were never truly your friends to begin with. Senioritis actually seems like a real disease. People may try to stab you in the back. The word “last” will be your most used word of the year. Spending time with friends seems like top priority. You will cry, a lot.

Senior year flies by, so don’t waste a second of it. Only you can make the most of this year that you have, don’t let anyone ruin it for you. If you want to do something then do it, you have nothing to lose. I know you can do it and I know you will have an amazing senior year. Your older sibling is always here for you no matter what. I am so proud of you and that is something that will never change.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
