Thank you UNI Athletics.

You've shaped a lot of my college experience. From my first football game as a student, to interviewing the basketball for the Odyssey, to going to the NCAA tournament with media credentials, to actually interning with the football team.

You've provided me with experiences that will always look back on and say "wow, yeah I was there."

Like when UNI beat UNC.

Or when Pep Crew got to hold the Men's Basketball team's conference trophy.

When I got media credentials to the Men's 2016 and Women's 2017 Basketball Championships First & Second Rounds.

When CATS got to meet David Johnson at Rally in the Valley.

When UNI beat Iowa State.

Or when you actually trusted me with the Pep Crew takeover of UNI Athletics' Snapchat.

You've taught me a lot of important life lessons.

You taught me how to roll with the flow and as the UNI Football coaches say "make some plays" when things don't go according to plan. I saw and adapted to how quickly things change in sports (especially around tournament season) and that sports never sleep (even if it is the off season).

Most importantly you taught me the importance of family. Yes, we may all be part of a team in some way in life, but that team becomes family over time. Pep Crew became my primary family within UNI Athletics.

But UNI Athletics is just a portion (the sport-sy relatives) of a bigger family- the University of Northern Iowa. And we all have different ties and connections- relations, you could say- to the Panther family as a whole.

Honestly I'm honored to be part of Panther Nation. And I'm honored to have worked with UNI Football direction and within UNI Athletics as a whole.

Thank you for everything.

Go Panthers.

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.
