A Letter To The Woman I Look Up To
Melissa Gutheil

Dear Mom,

There are not enough ways to express my absolute love for you. I cannot fully express into words how much I admire you and appreciate everything you've done for me. You've been there countless times for me. We've had so many amazing memories and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Thanks for the ice cream trips, even if it was one every day of the weekend. For the Friday night dance sessions, probably followed up by a homemade milkshake and a movie. Thanks for all the shopping trips and beach days. We never run out of things to do that are just very "us". You've been there for me through thick and thin. You gave me endless hugs when I got my heartbroken. You've seen me cry hard, but you always know how to make it better. Hopefully, I've been there for you when you've needed me as well. We've celebrated moments like birthdays and graduations. We've had a lot of fun times. Even as I'm in college and away from you, you're still such a huge part of my life. I wish I could talk more often but classes have me super busy. I think about you every day because I love you very much. I cannot wait to come home and slay it up together again! Counting down the days!

Thank you for being the "cool mom" that everybody else wishes they had. My friends love you almost as much as I love you because you know how to help others. You just might be the funniest, most fierce mom I've ever met. You know just how to blend in with my friends, it's almost like you're a part of my friend group!

All the love you've shown me has taught me how to properly give love to the world. You've taught me how to strive for the best I can be because you have had such a strong drive.You taught me how to work hard for the things I want. Your kindness is unmatched by anyone else. Not to mention your amazing outfits, always killing it! You've shown me how to be thankful and grateful for everything I have, and to give to others when possible. Thank you for all the amazing life lessons that will help me forever.

You're amazing and I'm so lucky to call you my mom. I wouldn't have it any other way. You're the prettiest person and I'm lucky to have half of your good looks. I feel blessed to have such an amazing woman to look up to. I'm extremely proud of everything you've done and how well you've raised me. I hope that one day I can be half the woman you are.

Thanks for everything you do, I love you very much mom.

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.
