An "I Miss You" Letter To My Sisters
Hayley Hutson

I miss our sushi dates. I miss our shopping trips. I miss waking up after a crazy night and immediately texting our group message with all of the details. I miss getting ready to go out together and taking a million pictures before leaving. I miss having 100+ friends ready to be there for me whether I need a question answered, need a study buddy, or someone to sit on the couch and watch movies all night with me. Of course I know I’ll see you all again but right now it feels like ages have passed. How lucky am I to have sisters so amazing that it makes being away so hard?

With all of the flawless recruitment pictures and videos on Facebook and the constant mirage of Snapchats, I can see what a great time you’re all having and I wish I could be there for it. While being away is hard, I never feel left out thanks to the texts and emails that consistently update me on everything that’s going on. I also have the GIN system to thank for that, considering I still can’t figure out how to turn off the reminders to come to tables or chapter meetings every week… Won’t be able to make the next few! (and the next few after that…)

When I made the decision to go away for a semester, I knew it would be difficult. A semester without lecture halls and late-night study sessions is not quite the worst thing to happen to a college student, but a semester without her sisters is unimaginable for most sorority girls. Sometimes it takes separation to make a person realize how much they truly care about something, and that’s exactly what this time away has done for me.

I want you all to know how much I love each and every one of you, and how much I thoroughly appreciate everything I’ve gained from meeting you ladies. You provide me with constant laughs, loyalty, positive energy, and have pushed me to be the best version of myself that I can be. Even though you are not physically with me, I know you all have my back no matter what and that gives me all the confidence I need to face the world with open arms. I am ready to take on the rest of my time apart from you, knowing that when I get back I have a home waiting for me. Thank you for being my best friends, thank you for being my home.

Love always,
Your Sister

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.
