Thanks for making college my home away from home.

A Letter To My New Friends

To my new friends,

I can't believe how easy it has been to build a relationship with all of you. Though it has only been a semester, I could not imagine life without each and everyone of you. I never thought that meeting all of you would be so life changing. The support you give me is incomprehensible. No matter how stupid I am, you all still love me and you are not afraid to tell me that I messed up. You are not scared to be one hundred percent real because you know that even if I don't want to listen at first, I will eventually. It is such a blessing to have that.

I really never thought that I would/could find friends that love me and care about me just as much as my friends back home do, but I did. Thank you for letting me crash on your couch when I was heart broken and just needed to cry my eyes out. Thank you for stopping everything you were doing to make sure I was okay. Thank you for going to endless meals with me so I do not have to eat alone. Thank you for listening to my ENDLESS boy problems and have helping me realize who is good for me and who is not even close to being good.Thank you for letting me stay in your room when I just was too lazy to walk home. Thank you for caring about me when I was sick. Thank you for singing at the top of our lungs to our new and old favorite songs. And thank you most of all for helping me see that the me I am is beyond good enough.

I want all of you to know that even though I might not say it enough; I am so blessed to have you. I love you so much and I can not wait to see what college (and the future) has in store for us. I cannot wait to see you fall in love. I cannot wait for all the pizza nights, movie nights, and parties we have still to experience. I cannot wait to wake up and talk about our weird dreams. I cannot wait to wake up from a text from you asking me to come over and tell you all about my night. I cannot wait to be your shoulder to cry on. I cannot wait to love you and support you just as much as you have love and supported me.

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.
