A Thank You Letter To Ben and Jerry's

You deserve a thank you for all that you do.

A Thank You Letter To Ben and Jerry's
Fox News 4

Dear Ben and Jerry’s,

There have been many nights when I head to my freezer and grab some ice cream. There is something so special about your ice cream, though. For some reason, I feel like Ben and Jerry’s has a somewhat magical effect, where I just know everything will be alright. That whatever I may be stressed or upset about will soon pass. Or your ice cream opens people up to each other creating amazing moments. The familiar feeling of a cup, cone, or pint of your ice cream in hand doesn’t fail to make me happy. Your ice cream is not only silky smooth, but also has the best and biggest chunks inside which makes it oh so delicious.

Your ice cream has gotten me through my hardest tests. When I was freaking out, thinking I was going to fail, my roommate showed up with Brownie Batter Core and everything was okay again. It was just what I needed to refocus on my studies, which paid off pretty well, I got an A.

I have seen your ice cream work wonders for those going through breakups. A good movie and a pint of Phish Food helped out a friend, and I swear the next day she bounced back like I have never seen before.

Your ice cream brings back memories. Sitting in my dorm room enjoying Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, I think of when I enjoyed it with my brothers and cousins on our family vacation. How we laughed as we licked our delicious cones. Thinking of the memories that have been made over ice cream make me smile even in the midst of midterm stress.

Dairy free ice cream has been a lifesaver for some. I know a few of my lactose free friends went absolutely crazy at the idea that they could once again enjoy their favorite flavors. Especially my cousin, who sent me endless snapchats when she was able to enjoy dairy free Chunky Monkey.

Your ice cream brings people together. My first semester of college my roommate and I bought four pints of Half Baked at our campus convenience store and went downstairs to share with some of our new friends. That night is a treasured memory for me. It was the first time I really realized how special of a “power” ice cream can have.

It is funny to think that something so simple can mean so much. Somehow, you have created this. Ice cream brings people together, it mends broken hearts, it calms people down, and it is also enjoyed and appreciated for the awesome treat that it is.

On behalf of ice cream lovers everywhere, thank you.

Also, free samples and coupons are always loved.

From your loyal fan,

Cari

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.
