A Thank You To My Best Friends

The thank yous we say all too much, but not really enough.

A Thank You To My Best Friends
Shelby Ferguson

We say it a lot. It’s basically second nature. Whenever someone does something nice the automatic response is "thank you". But how often do we say it and actually mean it, like really mean it and not say it as a robotic response? The people that I think we probably find ourselves saying thank you to the most are our best friends. Well this is for you. This is my more than robotic response.

Thank You.

Thank you for always being there for me. Whether it is 3:00 in the afternoon or 3:00 in the morning, I know that I can always count on you to answer the phone, open the door, or come running to me.

Thank You.

Thank you for putting up with my bullshit. I know that sometimes I can overreact and be stupid about things, but you will always listen and never push me away.

Thank You.

Thank you for always being honest with me. Going along with the bullshit, sometimes I need a hardcore reality check and someone to tell me straight up. I know you do it just because you have my best interest in mind.

Thank You.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on. Literally. I'm sorry for any shirt that my makeup has ruined but I know you really don't care. I know it's not your favorite thing but when I need someone to cry and/ or vent to you're always there. (Thanks for also giving the best hugs when I need them most.)

Thank You.

Thank you for always having my back. Sometimes I mess up, well a lot, but I know that I can always count on you to stand by my side no matter what.

Thank You.

Thank you for making me smile. Even when I'm in the absolute worst mood I know that you will do whatever you have to do to make me smile, laugh, and get me out of that funk.

Thank You.

Thank you for motivating me to do my best. There are days when the motivation to do anything is seriously lacking but you make sure I get my ass up and do what I have to do.

Thank You.

Thank you for being my family. Whether you're with me at college or a couple hundred miles away, I know that we'll be friends for life because you really have become so much more like family.

Thank You.

Thank you for accepting me. I know that I'm not always the easiest person to deal with and yeah, I can be a little weird but you love me the way I am and that's the best feeling ever.

Thank You.

Thank you for being my best friend. It's something that I don't thank you enough for, but I really couldn't have asked for anyone better. I love you with all my heart.


Some people say you can only have one best friend at a time, I don't think that's true at all. Regardless if you were once one of my best friends and we had a falling out or you're one of my best friends now, I promise to always be here for you, always love you, and always root for you. I hope you all end up with all the happiness and success in the world. You were/are a part of my life and will always mean a lot to me. So one final thank you for being a part of my life, doing all these things for me at one point or another, and making me the person I am.

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.
