A Thank You Letter To My Roommates
Alexis Whitley

It's hard living with one other person, much less three other people. While we may have had our ups and downs and may have wanted to strangle each other at times, I am beyond thankful for my roommates. So, here is a thank you letter for all the things you have done for me.

Thank you for all the times you wanted to kill me, but you didn't. Thank you for never yelling at me for being too loud, and for not judging me for listening to Taylor Swift for three hours straight. Thank you for our many Cookout runs, grocery shopping trips, and for always being down for riding with me wherever I needed to go. Thank you for never making me eat alone and for always being my cafeteria date on Sunday mornings. Thank you for being my plus one(or plus three) to places, and always being the best dance partners I could ask for. Thank you for all the nights spent in our dorm instead of going to that party. Thank you for being honest with me when my outfit looks bad, and for sharing all your clothes and shoes with me. Thank you for belting out the words to my favorite songs with me. Thank you for sharing your snacks with me, and always being down to order a pizza when the cafeteria doesn't have good food. Thank you for dealing with me leaving random items laying all around our room.

Most importantly thank you for being y'all. My first semester in college would not have been the same without y'all. Thank you for always checking up on me when I have a bad day, and for being the ones I could run to crying after a bad day at work, or a fight with one of my friends. Thank you for being mom to me when I was sick. Thank you for bringing me out of my shell, and for making me go out when I wanted to stay in and sleep. Thank you for your patience dealing with me, and just for putting up with me in general. Thank you for all the memories I will always hold so dear, and for making my college experience a great one. There are honestly millions of things I could thank you for, but to sum it up, thank you for becoming some of my best friends in college and for being my home away from home. Y'all are the best roommates I could've asked for. No matter how many fights we've had, I wouldn't have wanted to live in a tiny space with three other people besides y'all.

love y'all long time,

your roomie

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.
