Dear roommate(s),

Thank you for being you. I would not be where I am today without your influence, guidance, advice, and friendship.

Thank you for always being honest with me. Whether it was good or bad, I knew you would be there. Especially when it was something I needed to hear, but didn’t want to.

Thank you for constantly dealing with me and everything that that entails. The roller coaster of emotions that we have gone through only brought us closer together.

Thank you for making me laugh. I couldn’t imagine living with someone who couldn’t look back on some of our memories and mistakes we’ve made this past year and not be able to laugh about them.

Thank you for being the sister that I needed. I knew that no matter what happened in either of our lives, we would always be there for one another. Life has thrown us some unexpected curve balls, but you were always there, no judgement, and no questions asked.

Thank you for not giving up on me, even when I was impossible to deal with.

Thank you for constantly bringing positivity into my life. Between the little notes we write to one another and the constant laughter filling our room, it always brings a smile to my face.

Thank you for always encouraging me to be a better person, whether it's studying late for a test, going to the gym, or just getting out of the room. You are always there.

Thank you for never letting me be lonely. You always include and invite me in all your plans. You never let me feel left out or not wanted, because you always welcome me with open arms.

Thank you for understanding. I know that some of my quirks or annoying habits probably drive you crazy, but thanks for sticking around and accepting me with all of my flaws.

Thank you for always being there when I need you the most. Thank you for being my best friend(s). Thank you for making this year one to truly remember.

xx

So much love,

Your Roommate

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.
