Thank You Letter To My Freshman Year Roommates

Hey girls,

It’s still hard to believe our freshman year has come and gone so quickly. Now we’re all living in different places, doing different things and occasionally meeting back up to reminisce on the crazy time that was freshman year. I can’t thank you all enough for listening to me whine and moan about almost everything. I’m surprised you still love me after watching me have multiple mental breakdowns all around town -- from our suite’s kitchen floor to the middle of Best Buy.

Thanks for always letting me play my music as loudly as I wanted, because you knew I was going through something that required me to listen to Adele at full volume and cry at two in the morning. Thanks for always being willing to help me fight off the ghost that lived with us and tormented us all year long. Thank you for watching the Food Network with me at all hours of the day. Thank you for going to Wendy’s with me all the time because we all had a mutual understanding that chicken nuggets were more important than homework.

Thank you for dragging me to the gym and forcing me to move my body more than the everyday slug to and from class. Thank you for all the random Tuesday nights when I wanted to go out and you all didn’t, but you went out with me anyway because I wanted to see the boy who sits three rows behind me and locked eyes with me for two and a half seconds in class six weeks ago. Thank you for forcing me to go to class even though I would have rather dug my own grave than go be productive that day. Thank you for listening to Christmas music with me in the middle of March. Thank you for being my mom when I was sick and taking me to the doctor and always making sure I took my medicine. Thank you for letting me eat your ramen noodles when I felt like I could have died of starvation. Thank you for playing the role of mom at a high school dance and taking many candid photos of my date and me before my date party. Thank you for helping me edit all my pictures to assure prime number of Instagram likes.

Thank you for giving me memories I wouldn’t trade in a lifetime. Most of all thank you for being you. Because even after all the weird and crazy stuff that went down in room 114, I couldn’t have done it without you.

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.
