Open Letter to My Best Friend Back Home
Hannah Warman

To my best friend back home,

I know things changed a little when I left home but I want you to know that even though we may see each other or even talk every day, I miss you more than you'll ever know. When I got my acceptance letter and knew that transferring was a real possibility, you were the person I was most excited and most scared to tell.

I wasn't sure you were going to understand why I wanted to go away but I knew you would support me no matter what. That didn't make it any easier to leave you. We've been pretty much joined at the hip since we were 14 years old. We did everything together and told each other everything, you were and always will be a part of my family. Yeah, our relationship changed over the years but I always had you, no matter what. From boy troubles to school dances and everything in between, we were in it together.

You sat with me and my family the day my dad had open heart surgery, you held my hand when I got my nose pierced and you came and moved me into college and cried with me when it was time for you and my family to leave. You have always been my partner in crime and I am so incredibly thankful for you. I know I don't tell you enough but I love you and I do not know what I'd do without you. I know sometimes I'm not the best of friends and I'm sure I can make you crazy but just know that no matter what I will always be there for you.

Even though were an hour and 27 minutes apart now instead of four and a half I'm always just a phone call away. No matter what happens or how far apart we may end up, you will always be my best friend. Thanks for all you have done for me over the years and for being by my side through everything. And even though I'm not right down the street anymore, when I do come back home it's almost like nothing changed. I appreciate that most of all because I know that even though I've had a ton of change happen in my life this year, I can always find comfort in you.

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.
