An Open Letter To The Friends That Stuck By My Side

Friends come and go, but you stayed, and that means a lot.

Dear friends,

I've never been one to have a big group of friends. I always wanted a group of people that I could trust and have fun with. I've seen many friends come and go, but the ones I have right at this moment, are the ones who've stuck by me through the roughest times.

Thank you for always being there. Thank you for putting up with me constantly. Thank you for showing me that you care, even when I want to believe that no one does.

You've been there through a lot. From happy days to gloomy days. From the beginning of relationships to the heartbreaks.

Even when I feel like I have no one, I know that I have you guys. Some of you I may have just met at college, and some of you I might have known for a while. Either way, thank you for always being there for me when I need someone to vent to. I know I'm not the easiest friend to comfort or deal with, but thank you for always trying.

Thank you for the late night talks, the adventures, the food dates, all of it. Thank you for sticking by my side through whatever life threw at me. I don't know why you stuck around through such rough times, but I'm so thankful that you did. I don't know where I'd be without the support system that I have.

I know that I'm pretty lucky in life, even though I may not feel like I am in times because I have you guys. There's never a dull moment with you guys. I can be in the worst mood possible and you guys will make me smile.

I'm not one to have a huge group of friends. I keep my circle small because I'd much rather have quality over quantity. I'd much rather have caring and real friends than to have a bunch of back-stabbing girlfriends.

Thank you for everything you've done for me.

Sincerely,

Julia

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.
