A Thank You To The Roomies

Hey friends,

Thank you. Thank you for always being there for me.

I know that freshman year would have sucked without you to vent to. Whether it was about family, school or just life in general, you were always ready to listen and give me your best advice.

Thank you for never judging the insane amount of Netflix I watched.

When you got home you usually found me in bed Netflixing. Sometimes you judged me when I never left my bed on Saturday's, but I feel like that was righteous judgment. Often times, you were right there with me binge watching whatever show caught your attention that week.

Thank you for never judging me for making macaroni and cheese when I got stressed out.

I actually think you wanted me to stress just so I would make mac and cheese and we could have a party because there was entirely too much for us to eat by ourselves.

Thank you for letting me laugh at everything, even when it wasn't even that funny.

You always knew at least one person would laugh at your jokes, and I'm glad I could be that person. "Hey look, there's a trash can!" Need I say more?

Thank you for giving me the best nickname; I love being Mikurler.

I can't imagine anyone else coming up with Mikurler. I can't imagine you calling me by my real name. I will forever be Mikurler.

Thank you for giving me a reason to laugh during calculus; we all need something to smile about in math class.

I don't know how I would have survived calculus without our group text. I probably would have gotten less weird looks without it, but it was so worth it. Surah and I had to meet up in the library to discuss and laugh about it some more (I know the library is meant for studying, but it is also a great place to laugh and acquire more weird looks.)

Thank you for being my live in best friends.

This actually could have been a problem considering we never went and did anything because we all lived together. I think it worked out for the best; we really needed each other this past year. I'm glad we had each other through the laughs and the cries.

I can't imagine doing my freshman year at BYU without y'all by my side. We have all gone our separate ways for now, but I can't wait for the day we are all reunited.

Much love,

Mikurler

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.
