Missing you, Em
Emma Looby

I am very thankful for all my friends. I love each and every one of them. I feel very grateful that I have such great friendships both at home and at school and I don't know how I got so lucky to have so many loving people in my life. Right now, I am 247 miles from one of my best friends and I am missing her like crazy. She deserves to know how grateful I am and how proud I am of her.

Dear Em,

I have no idea what I would do without you. Right now, we are only four hours apart, but the separation anxiety is so real. I want to tell you how proud I am of you for everything you've accomplished this past year. I watched you kick Anatomy class' butt, you took an important leadership role in our sorority, you are navigating your way through your faith and beliefs, you went abroad and explored insanely beautiful parts of Europe that held important, sentimental value, and you have remained the most supportive, loving, and loyal best friends I could ever ask for.

I still find it insane that we not only share the same name, but nearly all the same thoughts. We always say we each make up half of one whole brain and although we joke about it, I'm starting to think we do actually share a brain. I can always count on you to be there for me and somehow you always give the right advice and lead me in the best direction.Our friendship is one of the major reasons I can tolerate being 800 miles from home- I always have a sister right by my side. I love you to pieces.

Always remember: she got off the plane.

Love, Em

AI music threatens creativity

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.
