Dear Mom And Dad
Emily Agadzhanova

Dear Mom and Dad,

Since, I began college and moved four hours away from y'all it made me think of how much I appreciated everything that you guys have done and continue to do. Thank you for always supporting my decisions and for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for allowing me to follow me dreams no matter how crazy they may seem. Thank you for always being a phone call away and for randomly putting money in my account because you know I need Starbucks to conquer my tough days. Thank you for jamming out with me in the car.

When I decided that I wanted to be a part of Greek life you guys supported me 100 percent. You tried very hard to understand everything about recruitment and when I finally found my home you guys cried tears of joy with me. Thank you for trying to understand when I talk about my big or my other family members. Thank you for trying to learn my hand sign and taking pictures with me of us throwing what we know. Thank you for buying me endless t-shirts for understanding the stress of finding a formal date

In high school, thanks for the countless early morning rides to SAT tutoring or when late night rides from football games. Thank you for teaching me to drive, no matter how scary it was. Thank you for sitting through endless teacher conferences and honor ceremonies. Thank you for sitting in the beaming sun for hours to watch me graduate and for being the loudest you can be. Thank you for treating my friends as if they were your own children. Thank you for driving to endless early morning gymnastic practices and doctor appointments.

Thanks for putting up with my picky eating and me always nagging about wanting more clothes. Thank you for sending me endless pictures of the dog and for not replacing me with another animal. Thank you for always taking me out to my favorite restaurants when I am back home and for driving through endless traffic to visit me. Thank you for understanding my love for oversized clothing and Taylor Swift.

Thank you for the endless trust that you instill in me. From allowing me to drive all over the city to picking where I wanted to go to school. Thank you for raising me to be such an amazing person. Thank you for teaching me that I don't deserve anything but the best. Thank you for teaching me to keep my head held high and to keep going when things got tough. Lastly, thank you for being the best parents a girl could possibly ask for.

Love,

Your Favorite Human Being

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.
