Why I Love Florida State University
Gabrielle Silberman

Dear Florida State University,

Thank you for giving me one of the best experiences of my life. You are so warm and welcoming. I couldn't have seen myself anywhere else. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. You have introduced me to my best friends. You have been with me through it all. You have seen me at my worst. You have seen me at my best. You have led me to new places. You continuously help shape me into the individual that I am today and will be tomorrow.

You have given me the best nights out. The nights that I will never forget. And the mornings I will shamelessly never forget. You have filled my heart with love and laughter. You have pushed me to make a name for myself. I am proud to be a part of something much bigger than myself. Thank you for entertaining me. Thank you for having an incredible football team that I can root for every weekend. You have truly shown me what it means to be a Florida State Seminole.

Thank you for letting me change my major a million times before I found the perfect one for me. Because of you I learned how to take charge of my goals and aspirations. Thank you for allowing me to fall in love with everything you had to offer. You maybe even made it a little too easy.

You have introduced me to organizations that have changed my life in ways that I never thought possible. You have given me the foundation I need to prosper in life and I am forever grateful. You continue to drain my bank account day after day, but I forgive you. Because no money in the world can amount to how much I have grown over the years. You have rained on me when I didn't have an umbrella, but I forgive you. You have even given me all kinds of sicknesses, maybe even the plague. And for those weeks I was miserable, I'm still trying to get over that one.

I'm sorry I skipped class that one time, I may or may not have been too hungover. It will never happen again, but I make no promises. The Strip and Pots have some pretty good deals during the week. And I'm sorry I skipped class because I overslept. And I'm sorry I skipped class because I just didn't want to go. You have given me all the knowledge that my brain could possibly carry. You have graciously taught me how to procrastinate with just the right amount of time to spare.

Thank you for everything. Thank you for being the beautiful campus that you are. Thank you for the breathtaking sunrises over Landis Green and the sunsets behind Doak. I can't wait to share so many more experiences with you!

Love,

Your favorite Seminole

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.
