Mr. Thomas, this one's for you.

If you've been going to Catholic University for at least a year now, chances are you've had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas was one of the workers in the upstairs Pryz.

But he was so much more than that.

He was a friendly face. He was a helping hand. He was a listening ear.

Mr. Thomas was one of those people who was always smiling, no matter what. He truly cared about everyone he saw coming in and out of the Pryz for their daily meals. I hope that with this article, we can remember the joy that was Mr. Thomas.

His smile.

Mr. Thomas truly had one of the most genuine smiles I've ever seen. When he saw a student walk into the Pryz, he never failed to show them his biggest smile.This easily brightened up even the gloomiest or stressful of days.

His listening ear.

I've had some amazing conversations with Mr. Thomas, as I'm sure many other people have as well. He would always be open to talking to you and would always ask how your day was going. He didn't have to, he just wanted to. He truly cared about every single one of the students.

His contagious optimism.

Mr. Thomas was always happy to be surrounded by the students coming in and out of the Pryz. He told me how thankful he was to be able to see people's smiling faces, whether they were talking and joking around with their friends, or talking to him and saying hi.

His example to everyone.

Mr. Thomas' friendliness with everyone was something that I hope everyone wishes to emulate. His constant smiles and greetings made me change my outlook on how I go about saying hi to people. If everyone were more like Mr. Thomas, this world would truly be changed for the better.


Mr. Thomas, thank you for your smiling face and your presence in all of our lives. Heaven has gained an amazing angel.

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.
