An Open Letter To My Best Friends
Kaitlynn Gillette/Callie Smith/Paige Norton/Bekah Daniel/Whitney Gay

Hey guys!

I wanted to take the time to tell you guys how important y'all are to me. It can be hard to say these things in person, even to someone who means so much to me. When it comes to talking in person, I'm not the best at words so I'm writing this letter instead. You guys are the most inspirational people in my life and I want to thank you for everything, whether it was being the shoulder I cried on or going on adventures together. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky.

Honestly, I don't know what I would do without y'all in my life. Best friends are there for your ups and downs and don't run from a situation. When someone asks who my best friend is, my mind comes to all of you! When my days are gloomy, I know I can turn to you guys when I need a smile. Thank you guys for accepting me for who I am with all my flaws. It was you guys who made me who I am in college and made me want to better myself.

Y'all were there for my worst days, whether it was a break up or I just wasn't feeling myself that day. I learned I didn't need to change for anyone and I know that no matter what you guys will always be there for me. I may not be the best at showing you guys how much y'all mean to me, but I know that I wouldn't be where I am without you guys in my life. Thank you Bekah, for being my friend for years and being there even when we haven't talked in days. Thank you Paige, for never giving up on me and becoming my roommate. Thank you Whitney, for being my shoulder to cry on and making me laugh. Thank you Sarah, for being the logical one and telling me when I need to do the right thing. Thank you Callie, for being my mom on campus and making sure I'm always okay. And thank you Branden, for going on adventures with me and making sure I'm walking the right path. I love you guys to the moon and back! I wouldn't trade any of you for ANYTHING!

With all the love in the world,

Kaitlynn/ KK/ MiKait/ Buddy

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.
