My dad, my hero
Remi Barrett

Thank you to my dad, someone who does everything for my family and I. He has worked his whole life to make sure I had everything. I don't tell my dad a lot about how much he means to me, he's my favorite person. My dad is amazing, he doesn't stop working. He has done everything to make my life better.

Dad, I don't say it enough but thank you. Thank you for putting me through college, for taking me to every rehearsal and game, for teaching me to defend myself, for being my dad. You have done everything for me and than more. You have supported me through it all, through every crazy idea, you were there for me. You have allowed me to follow my dreams and I am so thankful for that. You have been there for me through it all and I'm so lucky that I have a dad like you.

Thank you for making me tough. You never let me give up; you pushed me to do my best. Thank you for making me drive when I was terrified and made me practice parallel parking for hours. You made me who I am. You allowed me to be the woman I am today. You never gave on me and you inspire me to this day. I am inspire by you to never stop working or ever give up. I will always work my harder because of you. I watched you my whole life how much you work hard and how you have never stopped. I watched you wake up at 4 am and work countless weekends and you haven't complained that much, (just a little whiney).

Thank you for the laughs. Dad, I'm pretty sure you are the reason why I love comedy so much. You are a goofball and you gave me that gene. Sometimes I can't take anything serious and I have to thank you for that. You have given me a positive outlook on life. You make me laugh the most. I'm so happy that I got you as a dad and no one else.

Dad, you wake up every day at 4 am to support our family. I never realized how much you to for everyone. You are an amazing person and I'm so lucky that you're my dad. I don't tell you enough how much I am grateful for you. I love you daddy. Thank you for being you.

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.
