A Letter To My Greek Family Before Our Last Semester Together

Whoever thought graduating was a good idea is fake.

A Letter To My Greek Family Before Our Last Semester Together
Gia Bitonti

Sitting at the commencement for the May Class of 2016 scared me... The next graduation I will be at is my own, and I can't believe I only have a semester left.

I like to consider myself very fortunate because I truly think that everyone in our family line could pass as actual family, even the family members who have graduated (shoutout to Cha & Nip). We fight and get along much like actual sisters do. We have earned ourselves the title of "That Fam" meaning we are attached at the hip, take WAY too many pictures (but really can we have enough?), and we always know where everyone else is (thank you iPhone for your location tracking abilities). Although we might be annoying to other sisters, I couldn't be happier to be associated with a closer group of girls. You are the best Little and Grand Little a sorority girl could ask for.

You both have taught me to bring out the best in myself. You turn my not so appealing qualities into traits that others would die to have. You girls ALWAYS have my back, no matter what. You take my side even when it's not the easiest side to take. Having true friends who always stick up for you is hard to find these days. Both of you always see the best in every situation, no matter how many girls are acquaintances with their Greek Family, and I am lucky enough to say that I am actually family with my Greek Family.

Hands down, I am not ready to leave college because of you girls. If there was an option to stay in college until you two graduated I would definitely do that. I'm not going to call anyone a liar, but whoever said graduating early was a good idea wasn't telling the truth because leaving your best friends is not fun. (How do you spell FAKE? G-R-A-D-U-A-T-I-O-N)

If I could go back and change anything about my college career it would be meeting you two sooner & doing whatever it takes to NOT graduate early so I could spend an extra semester with both of you. When I count my blessings, I count you both twice.

Thank you for being the realest fam in the game. I love you more than you'll ever know and I'm so thankful you were brought into my life.

Sisters by chance, family by choice. Forever.

Love you.

PS- Don't forget about me when I'm washed up :)

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.
