Open Letter to my Junior Year Roommate
Laurel Kearney

Dear Junior Year Roommate,

First off, I want to say thank you. Thank you for being you and for your friendship and reaching out to me to ask me to be your roommate. Freshman, sophomore year I have had two different roommates. During freshman and sophomore year, there was a lot I learned, some things I definitely wasn't expecting. I have grown as a person and this year I can definitely see how I have changed. Now it's junior year and you came along. I am so thankful for you and how the Lord has placed us together as roommates.

Thank you for your laughs. I am so thankful for you and how we make each other laugh. They say laughter is the best medicine and that is so true. Coming back from a long day of classes and catching up is one of my favorite things to do. We always seem to make each other laugh.

Thank you for the memories that we are creating. I am so thankful for all the memories we've had together this semester. From car rides to the store to watching Netflix, and even trick or treating, we've had so many great memories. I am forever grateful for the memories that we have created so far.

Thank you for being honest and open. Being honest and open I believe is a key to being roommates. I love how I can share anything with you, and you won't judge. You will give me your honest opinion on whatever the situation is. I am so grateful for your opinions. Thank you for the encouragement that you give to me as well.

I thank the Lord every night for you that back in May you reached out to me asking me to be your roommate. I was open and prayed about it and I am thankful the Lord placed us in each other's lives. I look forward to how we will continue to grow as friends.

With love,

Laurel

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.
