A Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Tessa Giamberdino

Dear Best Friend,

I still remember the day that we met. I never knew that one hello would turn into one of the best friendships that I have ever had. I was so lucky to spend three years in high school with you, and I must admit that leaving you was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do.

We have been best friends now for four years, but it seems like so much longer. We have made so many good memories together that I will never forget. Being away from you while at school has been hard. You are one of the only people who has truly ever understood me, and I love the fact that even after not seeing each other for months, we can pick up right where we left off as if I had never left.

You have been one of the most important people in my life for the past four years, and you always amaze me at how strong and wonderful you are. Thank you for being that person who I can be stupid and crazy with. I know that I will never have to act on a crazy idea alone because you will always be right there beside me encouraging me. Thank you for always being understanding when I get busy at school and I forget to text you back or back out on a time to FaceTime each other.

Some people say that long distance friendships are hard, yet here we are closer than ever. The truth is, being apart from you sucks. Although we don't see each other every day anymore and we don't spend as much time as we used to together even though we wish we could, you're still my best friend. You will always be my best friend. I will always love you no matter what. 150.5 miles will never keep our friendship apart.

Love,

Your Forever Best Friend

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.
