A Letter To My Mother

If you're reading this just know it's never too late to thank your mom.

Dear Mom,

I want to start this letter by thanking you for always believing in me and loving me unconditionally. With that being said, I know I don't always say it, but I love you and I'm very happy to have you in my life and to call you my Mother. Even since I was little, you were constantly looking out for me, making sure I followed the right path in life. I know I drive you crazy 24/7, but I know you couldn't live a day without your favorite child (Sorry Katie). I'm writing this because I truly don't thank you enough for all the things you've done for me throughout my life. However, this is my attempt to tell you how much you mean to me.

I know I'm far away, but I'll be home soon, I know it was hard to let me go but I'm highly convinced it made us closer. With that being said, thank you for always being there for me when I needed you the most, thank you for always being my number one supporter when I had doubts in myself, thank you for constantly reminding me how much you love me and how proud you are that I'm in college. I thank you for the countless hours you and dad work to provide us kids with the best life any child could ask for. Not only are you my mom, you're my best friend and I'm beyond lucky to call you my mom.

I want you to know even though I left Florida to attend college in Connecticut, I'll always be your baby girl. You've taught me so much about myself in just a matter of 18 years, you've watched me transition into the young lady I am today. Again, I can't express how much I thank you for being there whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on, I love you to the moon and back!

Love always,

Ellie

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.
