A Thank You Letter To the Two Parents Who Do It All

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know I don't say it often, but thank you. Every day I watch someone close to me go through a rough time with their family and it only makes me appreciate you two more.

Thank you for supporting me

Whether it's supporting me through college or through a tough time, you're always there for me. You guys always know what to say to make me feel better and you're always on my side. You also give the best hugs.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on

Sometimes life just doesn't go our way, so when it does, thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder.

Thank you for teaching me how to stick up for myself

While also doing it in a respectful way.

Thank you for teaching me that honesty is the best policy

Because no one likes a liar.

Thank you for putting food on the table

Nothing ever tastes as good as Mom's homecooked meal, especially every night of the week!

Thank you for working harder than ever

Getting up at 6 am isn't easy to begin with but to do it five days a week takes a real trooper. So thank you for waking up early every day, going to work for 8 hours a day and then coming home to take care of the house.

Thank you for sacrificing everything for me

Whether it's something as simple as the last chicken cutlet, or something even bigger, you two are always willing to put Bella and me first.

Thank you for pushing me to be the best I can be

You always taught me that whatever I can go, I can do to my full potential.

Thank you for keeping the fridge full

This is super helpful since I'm always hungry, so thank you for keeping the closet and fridge filled with delicious snacks.

Thank you for taking care of the house

While working a full-time job, taking care of a house and pets doesn't seem easy, so thank you for doing it. (And making it look easy)

Thank you for loving me unconditionally

Finally, thank you for loving me. Thank you for loving me through all of the ups and downs through life, for every single one of my flaws and for loving me unconditionally. I would not be anywhere close to where I am today without you.

Much love,

Brianna

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.
