An Open Letter Dedicated To My Roommate And Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,

It still surprises me how fast we got to know each other and even faster to become close friends. I couldn't ask for anyone better to be my roommate and my best friend. Being best friends with my roommate is the best thing in the world.

When I come back from a day of classes and work, we're here to rant and listen to each other talk about our day, from how boring it was to the last tea we heard. Life together with you is never boring. You make it so that I'm never afraid to share my stories and thoughts with you. I'm constantly intrigued and amused when listening to your stories and your current thoughts on why men and women think so differently.

We had our first big fight recently, and it absolutely broke my heart. I thought I had lost the best person to be my friend. But making up with you only demonstrated how strong we are together. We could have easily just lived as roommates and never become the friends we are today. I'm so grateful we both took that perfect chance and grew close together.

I've never had a friendship quite like the one we have together. It's like fate brought us together at the perfect place and time. When I tell people about you, I can't help myself but smile, grateful and in awe of our friendship.

Thank you for being my retail therapy buddy when I'm having a bad day. Thank you for the conversations till 4am, talking about our goals and dreams for the future and sharing our favorite songs and movies at the moment. Thank you for the wild, spontaneous adventures and our late night food runs. Thank you for the endless advice on boys and relationships. I'll be here when you need advice on the lucky man who is able to call you his significant other. I'll always have your back.

And when you're feeling down, I'll be here to listen and hug you. Let's grow and be happy together on our brightest days.

No matter how stupid or genius our decisions and ideas are, I'll support you all the way. And after a mistake or failure, I'll be here for you so we can bounce back together stronger than ever.

You changed my life and I'm so proud to be friends with you. Let's continue motivating each other to be the best that we can be. I'm always cheering you on!

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.
