Dear Big,

I came back to my dorm room from class today to find a surprise from you, and I’m beyond ecstatic to know I have a big sister watching over me. The number one reason I joined Greek life a month ago was to find my home, and there is no doubt in my mind I’ve found it. From an amazing bid night (which just so happened to be my birthday! Best present ever.) to getting to know my new sisters, it's been an incredible experience. I'm now surrounded by the most kind, intelligent group of girls I've ever met, and I know I ended up in the right place.

But now it’s time for the next step: to have a big sister! I am beyond excited to have you in my life and to share my sorority experience with you. I can’t wait to be able to turn to you for everything Greek life and more, from learning all about our organization, to figuring out what formal dress to wear, to bothering you asking what selfie angle makes me look best. I hope you’re ready for the most loyal and annoying little, because she’s right here!

Thank you so so much for leaving me the nicest gifts today and for already showing me so much love. As I go to classes and try to manage my busy schedule, you're taking the time behind the scenes to break into my room (but not in a breaking and entering kind of way) and leave me awesome things. Bid day may have been my birthday, but this is Christmas.

I can't wait to do everything even remotely big-little related together, and I really hope we'll be slaying the Instagram game. I'm sure we'll be throwing what we know together, and I hope you're prepared to take 100 pics for every post because I'm the worst.

I'm so excited to get to know you, as well as to meet your big! I'm fully expecting my grand-big to shower me in butterscotches and sugar packets every time I see her. Anything less will prove unsatisfactory. Please pass this message along.

Based on what I recieved today, I already know I'm going to love you. At this point, all I can do is allow the breaking and entering to continue, and hope that I live up to everything a little can be and more.

I can't wait to wear our letters together.

Love,

Your little

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.
