Thank you College...

For the best 4 years of my life.

Thank you College...

For a lot of students, college is just college. You go to your classes, graduate, and then step out into the real world. I don't think many of us realize how much of a significant impact that college has made on us, but I definitely have. I can honestly say without a doubt that I would not be where I am today without my college experience. For that, I owe a huge thank you.

Thank you Bridgewater State for shaping me into the adult that I am today and for giving me professors that truly cared about my success and didn't see me as just a student. Thank you for instilling in me the confidence to keep trying my best and working my hardest. Thank you for opening doors to so many opportunities and thank you for setting me up for the future.

Thank you for being the place where I discovered myself. I came out of my shell and became the best version of myself on campus. I also got to be a part of so many memorable experiences and one-of-a-kind opportunities that I don't think I would have found anywhere else.

Thank you for the weird icebreaker activities freshman year. Thank you for the sleepless nights and countless hours studying and doing homework. Thank you for the Shea Durgin dorm hall, where I met some of the greatest people that I am best friends with today. Thank you for the house parties every Thursday and Saturday. Thank you for Barrett's every Friday of senior year. Thank you for Springfest every year. Thank you for all the good times.

Lastly but most importantly, thank you for the amazing friendships that I have made. Bridgewater State was my second home and the friends that I made there have become my second family. We have all been through so much together and supported each other through everything. Thank you for all the laughs and unforgettable memories. I would have not survived college without you all by my side and I am so thankful to have made such amazing lifelong friends.


Thank you for everything.


A special thanks to my amazing parents for providing me with this opportunity. Without them, I would have never been able to attend this school.

Bridgewater State University Graduate, Class of 2019

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.
