To my College Besties as we leave for the summer,

Unbelievably 9 months has already passed and the time has come that we have to say goodbye to each other after basically living together.

My biggest fear coming to college was not the academics or whether I could be able to attain an astonishing GPA, it was whether I would have friends to eat with at the dining hall, having a group to go out with on a Saturday night or having someone to watch movies with late at night when I want to procrastinate my assignment that is due at 10 A.M. the following morning. Thanks to you guys, I have found all of that and beyond.

As ecstatic as I am to return to my home friends, my warm inviting pool, my family and my own comfortable bed, there will be nothing I miss the most than seeing you guys every moment of everyday. Because of you guys I have had the best time of my life and actually felt at peace with being in college away from my hometown and familiarity. You make the overwhelming thought of college, less overwhelming.

If it wasn't for you guys, I would not be the person I am today. Thank you for teaching me to speak my mind when there is a problem. Thank you for making my problems your problems too and helping me when I need i the most. Thank you for offering to hurt any person that hurts me. Thank you for never letting me forget that I can accomplish any goal that I set my mind to as long as I keep trying.

Thank you for making me laugh until my stomach hurts. Thank you for the endless amounts of advice and 1 A.M. heart to hearts. Thank you for always being willing to eat a meal with me even when you aren't actually hungry. And most importantly, Thank you for being my people.

Remember ladies, never stop sending me ugly snapchats, always ask for outfit advice as well as boy advice and 4 months will fly by just as quickly as the past 9 months has.

Here's to another year of laughs, late night chats, parties, dinner dates, amazing memories and everything in between.

See you soon Homies <3

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.
