Special Thanks To My Team

I don't have coworkers, I have a family.

Special Thanks To My Team
Kaitlin Didinger

To my team,

As we approach the next couple weeks things will start to change. People will take some time off to go on one last vacation before summer ends. Internationals will begin to plan explorations of our country before they go back to their home country. Soon people will be leaving to go back to college. Before you know it, summer is going to be over.

I want to begin by thanking you. Thank you for a incredible season so far (it's not over yet!). Thank you for the nightly Wawa and occasional diner dates, I wouldn't want to blow my paycheck any other way. Thank you for putting up with my crap for the past couple months. Thank you for dealing with me not only when I was tolerable, but also on days where you probably wanted to punch me in the throat. You helped make those 15 and 17 hour shifts now and then tolerable. You tolerated me when I was at my worst, and I can't thank y'all enough for that.

Next, I'd like to apologize. I'm sorry for the days where I was hungry or tired or irritated. I'm sorry I was intolerable for the majority of the summer. I'm sorry about the nights that I was hangry because I made the poor choice not to eat before my shift. I'm also sorry that I broke a lot of things (and that I suck at my job). To anyone who was around the day of the kettle corn incident, I apologize for being an idiot. I'm also sorry that I complain all the time (and I mean like every 5 seconds).

Now, I want you all to know that I'm nothing without you. Work is fun because of you. The long shifts don't seem so long when y'all are around. I wouldn't make it through my summers without you guys, and I really don't know how to picture my summer without y'all in it.

I don't know what life has in store for me next summer, but I hope that y'all are in that picture in some way, shape, or form. I love you all and I can't thank you enough for being such an incredible team that I'm able to be a part of.

I wish the best for all of you.

Sincerely,

A grateful coworker

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.
