I Surprised My Best Friend...
Abi Huff

Meaghan is my best friend. She currently goes to college in upstate New York and her family resides in Florida. This is the timeline of everything that happened in planning to surprise my best friend on our spring break.

January 4, 2019

I messaged one of Meaghan's friends on Instagram, explaining what I was doing and that I needed her mom's phone number to coordinate days and make sure it was okay that I came down to Florida. Of course, it was okay. Meaghan and I have had a rough few months and it would nice for both of us to have this time to relax and be together.

January 17, 2019

Meaghan's mother texted me saying they bought her plane ticket home. This meant that it was my turn to find plane tickets... I found plane tickets on the same day you fly into Florida, and organizing this will be very interesting. I will be in Florida for 7 days.

January 23, 2019

I texted Meaghan's mother asking when your land in Florida. Meaghan lands at 2:00 pm and I land at 3:20 pm. Meaghan's parents are going to take her out to grab some food and then come back to the airport pick me up. Their reason to go back to the airport is to pick a missionary (me).

February 4, 2019

February 4 is Meaghan's birthday. I wished her happy birthday and that I sent her a present, but she won't get it until she gets home in Florida for spring break.

February 20, 2019

Meaghan and I were on FaceTime for a few hours and she was asking questions about spring break. The whole plan slipped out. Meaghan now knows I am coming to Florida.

Meaghan and I are currently planning everything out. We will be going to the beach, and Disney World. We will be getting tattoos that we have talked about for a long time. We are both still so excited. Only a few more days until I fly down to Florida!

March 12, 2019

I have been in Florida for five days now. It has been so nice to see my best friend. Since we live so far away from each other, we tend to miss each other a lot; especially when things get bumpy in our lives. We have gone to the pool, went to Tampa to explore, started a new Netflix, and we will be getting tattoos before I leave.

My goal this year was to spend more time with the people in my life and to allow others to come into my life. This has been a good trip, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year brings.

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.
