At First, You Were My Roommate. Now, You Are My Best Friend.

At First, You Were My Roommate. Now, You Are My Best Friend.
Carly Halitzer

I do not even know where, to begin with, you.

Every day I am thankful that you messaged me asking to be roommates because now I do not know where I would be without you.

I thought I knew what true friendship was, but it turns out you were the one who taught me its true meaning. You have stuck by my side through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. When I think about all the great times I have had this year you were always by my side. More importantly, when I think back onto my hardest of days I remember you were still always on by my side.

The best part of every day is the time we spend together. I am almost positive that when people overhear our conversations they think we belong in a mental hospital, but I would not want to have it any other way. No one besides us will ever understand the insanity of any of our inside jokes. Our friendship is very different than the normal, but that is what I love about it. Thinking back on everything bring a smile to my face that stretches from ear to ear. Thank you for always being willing to try or do anything no matter how much we will regret it the next day.

The biggest thank you I have for you is tolerating me-- which is a lot to handle. I know there are probably times you want to put in earplugs and slap me across the face for complaining 24/7, but you do not. You patiently sit there and listen to me complain day after day. I am sorry but also thankful to have someone like you to just let me constantly ramble about every little thing that could possibly ever be wrong or to help me find my missing keys that are probably just sitting on my desk.

You are a special sort of special.

I have never seen you mad or even sad. You go through everyday laughing and smiling and I admire that about you. You are the positive ray of sunshine I have been missing, but could not be happier to have found. I may not say this as much as I should; thank you for all you do for me without even knowing sometimes. Everyone needs someone like you in their life.

This is only the beginning for us. I know I have found a lifelong friend within you and I cannot wait to (literally) take on the world with you.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
