Whether it is going away to school, moving away from home or even going on vacation staying in touch with friends is hard. Here are a few ways that you can keep in touch while being miles away.

1. FaceTime

For iPhone users, FaceTime is an easy and quick way to be able to be face-to-face with someone no matter how far they are.

2. Houseparty

Have a larger group of people or don't have an iPhone? Houseparty is a way to stay in touch with your friends and be able to all talk at once.

3. Skype

I feel like Skype is for business calls, but it is an easy way to video chat someone no matter what phone or device they have.

4. Oovoo

Bring back those eighth grade nights where people Oovoo'd all hours of the night.

5. Snapchat/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook

All of the above social medias are great ways to follow and share how your life is going to the world.

6. Texting

Texting is a fun way to keep in touch because it saves people the energy of actually talking on the phone. Plus you can send emojis.

7. Talking on the phone

Some people forget that they can just talk on the phone.

8. Send Emails

As old fashioned as this sounds, it is a perfect way to keep in touch no matter how far apart you may be.

Send a letter in the mail

This is a way to keep in contact without ever having to use electricity. Plus handwriting a letter makes it come from the heart more.

Although going away is hard, there are so many ways that people can still keep in touch with the people they love most!

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.
