A Thank You, To My Freshman Year At Mizzou
Makalah Hardy

It literally feels like I moved into my dorm a year ago and then I blinked and here I am moving out. Time has flown by and I am not entirely sure how I feel about my freshman year being OVER. I am having the hardest time comprehending the very thought that I am a sophomore in college. It is actually crazy but I wanted to Thank my freshman year for all the amazing, heartbreaking, depressing, and stressful moments it has given me over these past months.

First of all, whoever said random roommate is a bad idea clearly got EXTREMELY unlucky with their choice of roommate because my roommate is the BEST. I can not tell you how many people told me to not do a random roommate assignment but look at me now. My roommate is my life long best friend and I love her so much. The number of laughs and cries we have shared in our tiny dorm room together are literally endless down to the last minute of us moving out. I have never met someone who genuinely cares for me as a person and looks out for you as much as you look out for them. My roommate MADE my freshman year and I can not tell you how thankful I am for her to have been my freshman year roomie!

Second, the other friends I was able to make during my freshman year have been the absolute best people I could have ever met, also the funniest. I am so thankful for all of our late night trips to Quicktrip for hotdogs or our late nights studying together that usually turned into the funniest conversations.

Mizzou has brought me so much over the year but I would like to thank Mizzou specifically to bring about the new me. I came into college thinking I would struggle to make friends and struggle to adjust to life so far away from home. Mizzou showed me my extraverted self and gave me a new home to love. It brought people in my life I never expected but now could never live without. It showed me to not judge life so harshly and just enjoy the little moments we have cause they are limited. I realize now just how limited that time was as I leave my freshman year in the past and look forward to my future. Mizzou alone taught me so much about myself in just ONE year. I can not wait to learn more throughout the next three.

So here is to freshman year and to looking ahead to the future.

Thank you, Mizzou!

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.
