To my suitemates,

First, I want to say thank you. With us all living together as complete strangers that first few weeks of school, thank you for putting up with me and accepting me for the obnoxiously loud and crazy person I am. I honestly didn't think we were going to become friends, but looking back at this semester...we've certainly been through a lot.

From the 3am fire alarms to the late night pizza deliveries, you guys have been with me through it all. During our 5 months together, I have learned so much. Movies in the living room, late night pizza and cookies, and endless hours of laughter are an absolute must in 303. Even though we may disagree about the dishes, you guys have become my new family.

I also can't believe that we are finished with our first semester of college...but I know wholeheartedly that I would not have made it without all of you. Thank you for pushing me to study, for doing my laundry, and making my bad days ten times better. I can't put into words how much your friendships mean to me. Thanks for being there when I needed to cry after failing my first test, making my coffee in the morning, and always grabbing food with me. You guys bring so much joy to my day and I know I'm coming back after class to 5 friends who have become more like family.

Looking into our next semester, I can't wait to see where our journey takes us. I'm looking forward to all the new memories and adventures that await. *Lets hope there aren't too many more fire drills. I miss you all so very much and I can't believe I'm going a whole month without seeing you all. I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Love,

Rachel

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.
