A Thank-You List For My College Friends As Told by "Friends"

The title of the popular Beatles song, “I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends,” describes how I was able to survive my first semester. It’s crazy to think that first semester of college is coming to an end. Of course, I will always remember the friends I met during the awkward first week of my transition to college. But, thankfully, I met my true college friends, the people I cannot live without. So, to the friends I made in college, this is dedicated to you.

1. Thank you for always being there for me through the thick and thin.

Besides my good friends, Ben & Jerry, you are always there for me when I am at my best and when I am at my worst.

2. Thank you for coming in clutch whenever I have questions about homework.

Especially when I text you at late hours of the night.

3. Thank you for always coming with me to grab food.

Whether it is getting snacks for my dorm to getting dinner, and occasionally brunch.

4. Thank you for hanging out with me in my dorm.

5. Thank you for letting me eat your food.

6. Thank you for giving me advice whenever I am in need of it.

7. Thank you for knocking some sense into my life when I am not thinking logically or realistically.

8. Thank you for letting me borrow your clothes.

9. Thank you for dancing with me at the frats.

10. Thank you for helping me up whenever I fall (after you laugh at me).

11. Thank you for understanding my sass and my sarcasm.

12. Thank you for helping me make decisions when I am being too indecisive.

13. Thank you for doing spontaneous things with me.

Doesn't hurt to try something new, or out of the ordinary!

14. Thank you for appreciating how weird I am.

And for still thinking I am cool.

15. Thank you for celebrating with me when something good happens.

16. Thank you for being the best friends.

College can be stressful at times, and I am so thankful to have friends who help me overcome anything that gets in my way. Here's to second semester!

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.
