A Letter To My Neighborhood Best Friends
Morgan Pimentel

It feels like just yesterday we were all playing around the cul-de-sac together hunting for fossils and playing silly games. While I know that we are all happy where we are, it simply isn't the same being more than a two minute walk from you. I have been blessed to always have someone to hang out with and gossip to, and I have been so lucky that we have shared so many memories.

Now as we are further apart than ever, I want to express my gratitude to you. Currently, one of us is in Boston, one in Paris, and the other in Colorado, yet I still feel so close to you. You have given me a feeling of inclusion since early elementary school, and I am so grateful that it has continued all of the way through college. I underestimated the importance of our time together, and I would go back to being with you all of the time in a heartbeat.

I want you to know how proud I am of you. In less than one full year of college, we are all finding our paths and going places we could never have imagined. I have always known that you would do incredible things, and I am so happy I get to witness and be a part of them. Watching you grow from a distance is bittersweet. I want to spend every single moment with you, cheering you on and encouraging you. I get so happy seeing you discover your strengths, and I wish I could be there for the celebrations.

With all of this being said, I am beyond excited that we will be back together before I know it. Only two short months until summer begins and our time together commences. I am looking forward to movie nights and beach dates, and I look forward to singing horrible car karaoke with the two of you. The thought of being with you again makes my heart incredibly happy, and I cannot wait to see your growth in person.

No matter where I go in life, I want you to know that you will always be my people. I will always trust you and believe in you. Our bond is so strong and I cannot imagine where I could possibly be without you. Keep living your dreams, and we will be together again before we know it. I will always have this pride for you and I promise I'll express it when I see you again soon. Forever and Always, APW.

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.
