An Open Letter To My Laptop

I think I love you

An Open Letter To My Laptop
Shannon Roewe

Dear laptop,

I haven’t always had you and I know at some point I did function without you. You’re my right-hand man. We’re inseparable. As much as I know I shouldn’t be, I’m obsessed with you.

You’re my light in the darkness.

Countless hours I’ve stayed up staring at your captivating screen watching Netflix, writing essays, or other things I choose to partake instead of sleep.

You’re a balance of work and play.

So I’m sitting in the library looking at you…am I doing homework or creating a Spotify playlist? Only the two of us really know.

You’re my crutch.

Sometimes I don’t have anything to do but I feel awkward just sitting there so I'll open you up and pretend I have a reason to by typing nonsense.

You’re my confidant.

You know my thoughts and have seen all my searches and yet you don’t judge me for it. You know if I am being productive or just "chatting online with babes."


You’re with me everywhere I go.

I don’t leave without you because I enjoy your company. I put you in my backpack and take you everywhere and I pretend you don't make my bag weigh a million pounds.

You always know the answer.

Thank you for always knowing what to say and thank you for answering all the stupid questions I’m too embarrassed to ask other people.

When you fail, I fail.

You know I love you but sometimes you’re not so clutch. I guess some of that is my fault for procrastinating.

You know me so well.

You finish my sentences and show me ads that you know I’m interested in. Just kidding stop that you creeper!

Sincerely,

Every college student

Ps – Something that is unique to the way I write articles is I like to recommend a song that fits with the theme. This week’s song suggestion: Digital Witness by St. Vincent

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.
