Mom, Dad, I Could Never Thank You Enough, But I'll Give It My Best Shot Anyway

I can never repay you for what you have done for me.

Mom, Dad, I Could Never Thank You Enough, But I'll Give It My Best Shot Anyway
Brianna Duncan

Dear Mom and Dad,

Words cannot describe how honored I am to be your child. You tell me how proud you are of me every day, but you should know that I am proud of you. I am proud that you are so selfless, so caring, and loving. I am proud of what you have done. I am proud to be your child. Everyday you amaze me and overwhelm me with love. You inspire me on so many levels and I do not know what I would do with out you. You make my days brighter and my life so complete. Not everyone is as blessed as I am but I am over flowing with blessings considering how great you are. Everything you do does not go unnoticed and I hope to one day be as half amazing as you are.

I know my transition to college was hard, and I think it was equally as hard for both parties. Just know that everyday I miss you more and more. I love coming home and wish I could go home every weekend.

I cannot thank you enough for sending me to college. I know I am farther than expected, but I know that it is the best fit for me. Thank you for allowing me to be a first generation student, it is so amazing and I hope to make you proud. I use everyday to improve myself and my academics to prove it was worth all the stress, worry, and saving. Every dollar you have put into me I promise I will put to the best use. You taught me so much and I can never repay you.

You both have inspired me in so many ways and you will never know how much you have taught me. I may not be able to buy you a beach condo when I graduate, but I will always take care of you.

I love you so much,

Brianna

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.
