Thank You, Roomie

To my roommate:

I am so lucky to have met you because I genuinely don't think I'd be surviving college without you. You are the person I look to for a good laugh, for advice, and for telling me to stop being stupid. It's about time that I spell it out for you and thank you for all the amazing things you do.

1. Thank you for not killing me when I wake you up in the morning.

2. Thank you for telling me when that outfit is not working.

3. Thank you for talking me down when I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown.

4. And thank you for bringing me ice cream when I actually have a mental breakdown.

5. Thank you for our nights in spent watching movies and drinking wine.

6. Thank you for making sure I always get home safely.

7. Thank you for forgiving me when I snap at you for no reason.

8. Thank you for being Mom when I’m sick (and other times).

9. Thank you for letting me take your clothes without permission -- it's a communal closet, really.

10. Thank you for making me study when I’m trying to procrastinate but you know I have an exam the next day.

11. Thank you for always being a shoulder to cry on.

12. Thank you for updating me on what happened during your day and asking me about my day.

13. Thank you for a million dinner dates (and a million more).

14. Thank you for listening to me vent about everything and anything, even when you're sick of hearing about it.

15. And thank you for telling me it's time to let something go.

16. Thank you for letting me cry about Justin Bieber.

17. Thank you for knowing what I'm thinking before I think it.

18. Thank you for never making me explain myself.

19. Thank you for memorizing my Dunkin' order and bringing me countless cups of coffee.

20. Most of all, thank you for being my better half and my best friend.

I don't know what I'd do without you. Here's to many years of being roomies to come!

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.
