An Open Letter Of Appreciation For My Best Friends
Longwood Blogs

Dear Best Friends,

I'm not even sure where to begin in telling you how truly appreciative I am for your friendship. I don't do well with words and emotions, but just know that knowing I have your support means the world to me. With how crazy life can be and the varying amount of time we get to spend together, I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you.

Thank you for being there for me no matter what. No matter how busy life gets or no matter what stupid things I might do, you never turn your back on me. Thank you for picking me up off the ground when I'm forced to finally reconcile my emotions. Thank you for being there for me when things get tough and when I feel like I just can't take anything else on my plate. Thank you for helping me work through my many "crises" that come with being a college student. Thank you for validating my feelings, no matter how pointless they might feel.

Thank you for dealing with my incessant texts and snaps and my horrible jokes that only I think are funny. Thank you for egging on my "crazy" (mostly hypothetical) antics and giving me a good laugh in the process. Thank you for being my decision making committee because sometimes I just can't choose which outfit/pair of shoes/etc. is better. Thank you for the endless hours of conversations, debates, and juicy gossip. Thank you for the crazy nights and early mornings and the memories I will surely never forget.

Thank you for encouraging me to be the best version of myself and to dismiss the things that truly don't matter. Thank you for celebrating with me every time I am rewarded with opportunities that I have worked so hard for. Thank you for making me feel like I'm never alone in this world.

I'm not sure how I became so blessed to have such amazing women in my life as best friends, but I am so grateful. I couldn't do life without you and I can't wait to see where our lives take us. Just know that no matter where we are or how far apart we may be, I will always cherish our friendship and I will always be here to support 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.
