We Survived Freshmen Year Together

Dear Freshman Roomie,

Both of us heard about the terrible roommate stories from our older siblings. We never knew what could happen, especially watching a lot of our friends switch their roommates right in front of us. Even though our room was tiny with no space, there is no one else I would have wanted to share that small room with.

Thank you for being my first friend here. Coming into college not knowing anyone was scary, but I'm glad we had each other every step of the way. Who would of thought the BGSU Facebook page would lead us to each other.

Thank you for having life talks with me every week. If it wasn't for our life talks, I don't know if I would have made it through the week sometimes. Thank you for listening to me go on for hours about life, boys, school, and just random stuff that was going on that week. Even if you were not in the room some nights, we still managed to talk 24/7 on any and all social media. You give the best advice and helped me realize things that I would not have if it wasn't for you.

Thank you for being my biggest supporter. You were my number one fan every day and always encouraged me to do better. You never gave up on me.

Thank you for waiting for me. I know there were so many times we said we were going to get lunch at 12:30 but 12:30 turned into 1:30. When we said we were leaving for the mall in 15 minutes but that turned into 45 minutes later. I know it can get annoying for always having to wait but you never complained about it and never left with out me.

Thank you for being you. Nobody else knows me how you do. You accepted all my freshmen year mistakes and were there every step of the way.

Thank you for being my best friend. They say in college you meet the people you will be friends with the rest of your life and I know without a doubt we will be friends for life. The endless memories we have already just after one year is amazing and I can't wait to see how many more we will make.

Thank you for the memories and for being my person, Syd.

Much love,

Your Freshman Year Roomie

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.
