Thank You Notes
Work It Daily

If you have seen The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, you may have seen him write his thank-you notes to different people and objects using a comedic tone. Yes, I know it’s almost a month before Thanksgiving, but I wanted to take this time to thank some important people and things in my life.

Thank you to my parents for being my biggest supporters throughout my entire life and for raising me to be the person who I am today. Thank you for giving me a sense of adventure, humor, and kindness. Thank you for teaching me the importance of volunteering in our community and around the world. Most of all, thank you for teaching me the love of God.

Thank you to the rest of my family. Your encouragement through each stage of my life means so much to me. I always have fun spending time and hearing stories about how we came to be. Thank you for also teaching me eating ice cream is acceptable any time of the year.

Thank you to my college friends. You each have made my day a little bit easier. We’ve had the best talks and laughs. You help me with my problems while I help you with yours. I’m so thankful for the deeper connection we have established. I know that we are going to remain friends after we graduate and move on with our own lives.

Thank you to my boyfriend. We’ve only been together for about three months now, but it feels like we’ve known each other for ages. Even though we are in a long distance relationship while at college, I feel so close to you. Thank you for being my coach and making me smile every day. I cherish every moment we spend together and can’t wait for more memories to make together.

Thank you Spotify Premium for keeping me sane everyday without the use of ads. Last year, I listened to about 32 days worth of music. Thank you for allowing me to listen to my favorite artists and discover new ones.

Thank you fried chicken for being the most delicious food. Also pasta, potato salad, ice cream, etc.

Last but not least, thank you to those who have served for our country, those who keep us healthy and safe, and those who are our unsung heroes. I am truly grateful.

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.
