An Open Letter To My Group Chat

Our bond in a never-ending conversation.

To the people I talk to 24/7,

You are the best.

Nothing beats our infamous group chat. From the advice you give to the jokes we share, you are my main source of entertainment and communication throughout the day.

Yes, you distract me to no end. Studying is impossible, and my exam grades may suffer from constantly checking our texts instead of checking facts, but I couldn't imagine life without our squad. On the nights I go to sleep early, there is no doubt I will wake up with 300 messages. However, this isn't always the case. When the group chat is having a slow night, I am at a loss of what to do.

So what makes our group chat so great? Let me tell you.

You are my outlet for venting.

Even when it is about the dumbest thing possible, you are there to listen. Whether I am letting out my anger from a bad grade or I am simply hungry, you are always there to hear me out no matter how dramatic I am.

You make me laugh until I cry.

After going out or even staying in, nothing beats those classic pictures and videos we exchange and receive. You are the reason I burst out laughing in class, and for that I love you.

You make it so much easier to make plans.

I feel included all the time, even when I am not there. With more people comes more plans; the options are truly endless. Plus, when we are all reunited it's finally time to put the phones away and celebrate!

We are always sending random gossip... even if it has nothing to do with us.

Yes, we are creepy, but how could I keep up with everything around me without having constant updates from you guys?

When I am not talking to you guys, what the hell do I do?

With a constant source for entertainment, I am way too accustomed to talking to you 24/7. Sometimes it is hard to know what to do with myself when you guys are busy, but I know that I will spammed once again in due time.

The inside jokes are priceless.

With multiple people in on the same joke, the number of times it can be used is infinite. Inside jokes are great, but group chat inside jokes are pretty much the be all end all (despite the fact that we seem crazy when out in public).

In any case, I love our late night talks, the jokes and everything that comes along with our close-knit group chat.

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.
