An Open Letter To My Dog While I'm Away At School
Mariana Trodella

My dear puppy,

I know you must be so confused as to why Mommy is not around all the time. It breaks my heart that I can't communicate with you and let you know why I am gone. You see, Mommy has to go to school and live there, too. But I miss you every second of every day. You really are my best friend. You bring so much love and joy to my life and I really wish so much that you could come to school and be with me. Imagine how much fun that would be!

It breaks my heart to know that you are always looking for me. I wish you wouldn't sit and cry outside my door. I will always always come back for you. But I know you know that.

When we finally do get reunited, it is the best feeling in the whole entire world to see you get so excited. I know you miss me as much as I miss you. I love how when I first come home, you follow me around everywhere. You are so cute and funny.

My mom sends me pictures of you every single day, and I can not believe how fast you are growing. You are growing up so fast and you are such a good girl.

I miss hearing you bark at all the little things outside. I miss taking you for walks. I miss our cuddles and your puppy kisses. I miss getting to play with you. But it makes me happy to know that when I do come home we always have the best times together.

Before you came into my life, I never understood what people meant when they said that dogs are a girls best friend. But now I know. You make my life complete and better because you are always there for me in ways it is not possible for you to ever understand.

Pretty soon it will be winter break, then summer vacation and I know that we will have the best times together and go on the most amazing adventures. I love taking on the world with my best friend by my side.

You are truly a blessing. I know you are a gift from God and you were meant to be my dog and I was meant to be your owner. You changed my life for the better and I am so proud to call you my dog. You are a good girl. Never forget that. XOXO

I love you, my Zoie.

XOXOX

Mommy.

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.
