An Open Letter To The Best Friends I Met In College
Emily-Rose Santamaria

Dear True Friends,

I always thought I had true friends in high school, and I do have some at home. But, at college, I met more. I met you guys. You have stood with me through some of the hardest points in my life and have been my backbone since the day I met you. Thank you so much for that and so much more.

We may not have been best friends right off the bat, but time has done nothing but pull us closer and closer together. I am so thankful for this and for you. I have been able to trust you with practically my life. You have changed my life, and even myself, for the better.

I cannot imagine what life would be like without you guys, and I don't want to. You make my life so much more interesting, hilarious, and I wouldn't want it any other way. We have great times together, and even bad but nothing can pull us apart. Living in close quarters has definitely proved to us that we can withstand anything and work through everything. And if you were to decide to leave, you can't. You already know too much.

When we go on break, or one of you goes home for the weekend, I don't know what to do with myself. I miss you guys more than I could ever describe and I wish I could just put you guys in my pocket so I could take you everywhere... LOL.

One day we will be each others' bridesmaids and be raising kids rather than raising madness at school. But we will never lose sight of our amazing friendships and I can say this with complete confidence. You are my forever friends and I am so happy to have you guys.

Thank you for always having my back, protecting me from the worst, supporting me during the best, and making me laugh until I cry. I could never and would never replace you guys with anyone or anything else in this world.

I love you, guys.


With Love,

Your Third Musketeer

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.
