A Letter To The Very Best Friend I Met in College

The best friend you meet in college is a very special kind of friend. They are the friend you found out of hundreds, possibly thousands, of people at your university.

The person who has been there for you on your worst days and celebrated with you on your best.

The person who makes late-night Target runs feel like spontaneous road trip adventures.

The person that you consult before starting a Netflix series, because you know you'll end up watching it together anyway.

The person that knows how to comfort you (Ben & Jerry's... duh) and when to give you some tough love.

They're the person who simultaneously acts as your therapist, dance partner, wingman, and study buddy.

The person you obsess over Pinterest travel boards with.

The person who makes all-nighters go by in the blink of an eye.

The person whose dorm room is your home away home.

The person who knows all your weird obsessions and accepts you for them.

The person you hug like you haven't seen them in a year, even though it's been three days.

The person you can't ever stay mad at.

They are the person who understands the struggle between wanting to go out and REALLY wanting to stay in.

The person you can have whole conversations with without saying a word.

The person who both encourages you to go to class and skips with you when you don't feel like it.

The person who knows all your quirks and idiosyncrasies and the secrets you haven't told anyone else.

The person who steers you away from the wrong guy.

The person who accepts retail therapy as a legitimate form of treatment.

The person you can be your weirdo-self with.

So, best friend, I just want to thank you for being, well… the best.

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.
