Open Letter to the Friend Who's Apparently Too Good for Me

I think we all went to school with a jock. The guy, or girl that was smart, good at sports, and thought they would go above and beyond all other students. I went to school with one and at one point we were best friends. So this is the open letter to the jock that's apparently too good to be my best friend..

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

You told me everything. I can count numerous times where you would call me and tell me everything your terrible girlfriend did or said. We would talk for hours and text all the time and everyone thought we would get together. I'm not sure when you stopped telling me everything, but you did and we haven't talked since.

You thought you were better than everyone. You didn't always think this. It just happened over time. Maybe it was that horrible girlfriend you had for too long. Maybe it was every time I told you, that you were better than her you thought I meant everyone. You aren't. You were better in school and sports and thought you would go to the best college, and you didn't.

You stepped on everyone. You really thought no one would notice how you used them. Again, you weren't always this way, I just don't know how it got this bad. You threw away all your "useless" friends for stuck up friends. You don't even talk to them anymore..

You didn't leave our town. All you wanted to do was be something. You wanted out of our small town and now you're more stuck than any of us. You are currently enrolled in a community college, but doing all your classes online because you don't want anyone to know.

You not only lost your friends, but you lost yourself.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
