A Letter To Seniors In High School
Amber Wilcoxson

Dear seniors.

This is going to be your most crucial and most rewarding semester of your school career. It will be filled with joy and frustration and so much sadness. You will have your heart broken by your friends because you may never see them after graduation, and I promise you. The brokenness that your friends bring you, will be way worse than any breakup you’ve ever been through.

Your classes will seem like an ease this semester and homework a breeze, but enjoy it. Enjoy the life of a high schooler, enjoy the easy homework, and the ease of thinking about graduation and prom. Remember what is going on with you, remember how you’re going to be this time next year. Weather that be college or something else. Everything is going to be different this time next year, You will be away from everything you grew up with and know. You won’t understand what is happening when everything starts to change.

Prom may seem like an easy to you, but believe me. Senior year prom is going to be so stressful, You want everything to be perfect for your prom. The perfect dress,date, tux, everything. Remember that your mom is going to want to help you do everything.And this is the one of last times she will be able, so be sure to let her. Let her fix your hair, or your tie and take pictures with her; take so many pictures with her. You will appreciate those more than you’ll ever know. Remember you dad may not understand prom as much, but still take plenty of pictures with him too, remember that he cares about you so much, even if you don't understand him sometimes.

Graduation is going to be soo boring, For you and for everyone else except for the parents. Sitting their for 3+ hours hearing names being called and 1 person getting up at a time, it’s really not that exciting. Also, master the walk in. Teacher WILL laugh at you if you mess up, believe me, my walking partner and I were not the most in sync people.But it’s worth it in the end, you’ll look back and realize it was kind of a boring time, but worth it once you get that diploma.

This time in your life is going to be amazing, don’t waste it. Don’t waste the time you have with your friends, because you will miss them so much. Especially if you're 7 hours away from your hometown like me. Life is going to be changing for you, so enjoy every moment you have and cherish them.

Sincerely,

Someone who was in your shoes this time last year.

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.
