My Best Friend Became My Sister

I have gained someone I love very much and is not a part of my crazy family.

Throughout my life, I never really had a girl friend that I got really close too.

Honestly, I never really had any friends to begin with. I was hoping that all of that would change when I got to college. However, my freshman year was not any different than high school.

I spent most of my days and nights by myself. However, the start of my sophomore year changed my life for the better.

When I finalized my fall schedule, this random blond girl came up to me and freaked out because we had biology together. Take note that I had absolutely no idea who this girl was, but soon I would know. This girl became my best friend.

Soon we were joined at the hip and spent every day together doing something, it did not matter what we were doing.

We got so close that over Christmas break, we freaked out because we did not see each other for about three weeks. Let's just say it was horrible.

Even though Rachel and I do not have any classes together this spring, we still spend every week day together. Every lunch and dinner and then out and about we are together.

It did not take long to realize that this girl is not my best friend....she is my sister; my non-biological sister who I love so much. She has turned my life upside in the best ways. Just like any sister out there, she's there whenever I need her, whether it's for a laugh or a shoulder to cry on.

No matter what life throws at me, I know I will be fine because I have her. It is a special thing when a friend turns into a part of your family.

Thanks to Rachel, I am no longer afraid to come out of my shell and be myself.

P.S. Thank you Rachel I love you to pieces.

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.
