A Letter to My Kitten

Dearest little Kitten,

I remember the day that you were first just an idea to me. My friend texted me eagerly: "HEYY WOULD YOU WANT A KITTEN?" I thought it was a theoretical question, so I replied, "Yeah of course!"

Soon, I received a picture of you and your little fuzzy siblings!

Soon it all became real. I was getting a kitten! I have always wanted a kitten. I had a cat since I was born, and I missed out on her "fun" kitten years. I couldn't wait to see you grow up! To play with you! To train you and be your best friend!

Soon the day came and you and your sister arrived at my apartment. I remember taking you out of the box, you travelled a long way with your siblings in a car to arrive at my doorstep.

I remember the first time holding you. The first time I let you sleep on my bed that first day! I was so excited that when I went out to dinner, I couldn't leave you behind and you fit perfectly into my purse when we went out to dinner.


You are super cute and when you were very small, you used to love to climb on to my shoulders. Now you are a little bigger, but you still love to try to sit on my shoulders. You are like my little tiny parrot kitten.

I love it when you sit with me when I play the ukulele.


I think that is funny that you love the shower and that you like the play peek-a-boo while I was washing my hair.


It is so nice to look back on all of these fun times. However, you are a huge handful!! Remember when you shredded all of my toilet paper, and tipped over the trash and spread every piece all over my bathroom? Remember when you shredded a cardboard box, when you shredded my poster, when you shredded my homework? You once demolished a muffin, ate the top half of a cinnamon roll, and tried to steal a slice of pizza that was larger than you. You are so mischievous!


I'm so glad to have you in my life regardless of your shenanigans, and how you wake me up by gnawing on my feet. I definitely would not recommend getting a kitten, or a dog to anyone in college unless you are sure you can handle it.

Thanks for being my cuddle buddy, and my studying partner,

Much love from you Mawmmm,

Jenn

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.
