To The Friend Who Came At The Right Time, Thank You

You mean so much to me, you have no idea.

To the friend who came at the right time,

I was really nervous about making friends when I left my last college. Yes, I had a few people that I knew at my new school, but there was no one that I really knew in my major. All of my friends were at my last college or in different states. I didn't expect God to place you in my life right away, but I'm so glad that he did. It took a few weeks for me to make friends, but eventually, I did and it was worth the wait.

We met at an event for my major and I knew right then and there that I was in trouble... just kidding. But, after meeting you at that event we immediately clicked and, thankfully, ended up having quite a few classes together. You came into my life at exactly the right time. I had a rough experience at my last college and I was slowly healing and learning how to trust others again but eventually, I did.

I opened up to you about my past, and you told me about yours. We became very close and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you for putting up with me, I know I'm a mess but you handle easily because you're a mess too. Thank you for always letting me vent. Life can be hard sometimes but I'm forever thankful that if something bad occurs, you're always there for me and I will always be there for you.

Thank you for procrastinating and causing trouble with me. Thank you for the various classes we have and have had together, the projects we did together, Walmart trip, and staying at school to get stuff done with me. Thank you for asking if I wanted to do homework, for being kind and tolerating the snaps of my dog and cats haha.

You're such a strong person. You're very sarcastic, funny, kind, and truly a one of a kind person. Thank you for giving me advice when I need it. I'm always here if you need advice or want to gossip about someone who annoyed you at work.

Thank you for teaching me that it's OK to let people in. I built up a wall and didn't necessarily like letting people in, but you came in with a bulldozer and knocked that wall down. I can't thank you enough for that.

You're a wonderful person and here's to many more nights of procrastination and adventures to come.

Love you lots,

H

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.
