A Thank You Letter To My Roommate
Alex Sobczak

Thank you for putting up with my light being on at all hours of the night while I’m reading and you’re trying to sleep.

Most people would probably kick me out. Or move. So, thanks, dude.


Thank you for reminding me to set my alarm and for motivating me to not skip my early class.

You’ve saved me so many times.


Thank you for going to get dinner with me, like, everyday.

Walking in the snow to a dining hall is less awful with a buddy. Or maybe we'll just order a pizza for delivery...


Thank you for splitting the chores with me.

When I wake up from a nap and our room is clean, it’s honestly the best feeling.


Thank you for the fun nights out.

You’re my go-to for whatever plans I’m making and I love spending time with you, especially outside of our room.


Thank you for not getting too mad at me when I make food for us and I spill it all over our room.

I’m not sure how to explain this one, but the “I’m sorry, but there’s popcorn and uncooked soup noodles all over our room” texts pretty much do the explaining for me. I’m clumsy; it happens.


Thank you for liking the same music I do.

It makes our dance parties more fun that way. (Dumb dance moves required).


Thank you for taking time to listen to my problems that other people would just dismiss me as crazy for.

You give really, really good advice, and I really appreciate it.


Thank you for making me cry of laughter at 1:30 in the morning.

Because what else would I be doing?


As a follow up, thank you for not forcing conversation in the morning when we’re both dead tired waking up for our early classes.

Sometimes, silence is the best noise. Especially early in the morning.


Overall, thank you for being such an amazing roommate.

You’re fun, understanding, and my best friend. I'm so glad we live together.

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.
