Friends will come and go, but moms are forever.

In elementary school, we find our 'starter' friends. Elementary friends are easy. There is usually no major fighting. Plus, no phones so you MUST spend time with each other and actually talk face to face. There's no drama with each other, or boys. It is all just who took your crayon and who your mom will let you invite to your birthday.

Middle school is where the drama kicks in. For example, middle school is the stage where girls will learn to fight over boys or cause drama with friends. The best rule to always follow: never hang out in an odd number. Each friend group has the pot stirrer; when you find them, get rid of them. Middle school is the worst. Some kids will have phones, and some do not. Also, if your mom says you shouldn't hang out with a certain friend, listen to her and don't hang out with them.

Then comes high school. You lose touch with some middle school friends and make new friends. Now there are cliques. It's hard for people like me who get along with everyone, so your friends with everyone. High school friendships are easier because when things fall apart, there is someone else to hang out with. You can go home and cry to your mom and listen to her weed out the real friends.

College is where you find your real friends just to call your mom about them later. Before I started college, I was warned that I would lose touch with my high school friends. I have never heard something so accurate in my life. I love my college friends so much. Everyone in college is looking for friends, so it is easier to find the best ones.

Throughout all of the stages of friendship, my mom has been there. My mom is my best friend and I wouldn't want anyone else as my best friend. I know I can always count on my mom to be there for me. I know I can trust my mom with anything. Whenever I need to complain, cry, laugh, or just talk, I know my mom is the one to call.

We also have the same taste in movies and TV so that's a bonus. We can disagree without grudges. Another bonus is she makes the BEST chicken. My mom is always right about everything. I love spending time watching Judge Judy every day with my mom. I wouldn't want it any other way. I love you, mom.

thank you mom

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.
