An Open Letter To My Roommates On Graduation Day

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

An Open Letter To My Roommates On Graduation Day

Dear Roomies,

Remember that first night? The first night of us all being on our own for the first time. It was exciting and a little scary. I remember being nervous, but we all unpacked and laughed, and I ended up feeling a little better. Remember talking about all the house parties we’d attend together? The people we’d meet and the adventures we’d all encounter? I can’t believe those years have already flown by; I can’t believe we’ve already accomplished all those things; I can’t believe it’s almost over.

As time has gone by, we’ve become a little family; we bicker about dishes and have TV dinners. We’ve been through the thick and the thin together, and it’s been a crazy ride. I have so many things to thank you guys for, and so many memories I will cherish forever, but as the end approaches, that’s not what I need you guys to know. I need you guys to know how proud I am to have been your roommate.

As your roommate, I have had the opportunity to watch you guys go through some difficult times; I’ve watched you guys achieve your goals, push your limits, grow into strong individuals and now I get to see you guys finish college. As your roommate I know you guys can conquer anything you put your mind to. I know you guys will never settle for less than you deserve, and I know you guys will always be just a phone call away when I need you. As your roommate, I know we have different dreams to go after. I know we will have to take some time apart now that college is coming to a close, but I know we’ll always stay close. As your roommate, I want you guys to know that I learned a lot from you, I’ve grown into a new person whom I really enjoy because of you, and I will always be your roommate no matter how much time passes by. As your roommate, I want to tell you guys that you are important people in my life, that I believe in you guys, that I am proud to have been your roommate.

Although I am sad it is all coming to an end, I know how lucky I am to have had such a crazy adventure with some amazing roommates. I will forever value the moments we’ve created together, and appreciate the last few we still have left. If I could do it all again, I’d still do it with you guys by my side, so here’s to us and the incredible friendship that has formed from living with some pretty remarkable people — my roommates.

Love,

Your Roomie

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.
