A Letter To My Mom
Mamma Mia

Dear Mom,

You do so much for me everyday. You have put my needs before yours since the day I was born, and I don't say thank you enough. This letter can't possibly thank you enough for all you do, but it's just the start of my gratitude.

Thank you for everything. Thank you for being supportive of me no matter what. Thank you for doing everything in your power to make my dreams a reality. Thank you for being there for me whether it was talking me down when I was sure I wasn't going to make it through Spanish class, or showing up to any event that I participated in. Thank you for being understanding when I don't text or call you back right away because you know I have a horrible memory. Thank you for feeding me at school and home and making sure I'm being properly taken care of. Thank you for letting me figure out who I want to be and supporting me to make my own choices. Thank you for making sacrifices in order for me to pursue my dreams. I know now that it hasn't always been easy and I am so grateful.Thank you for taking me shopping because I needed to get off campus. Thank you for sending me candy in the mail after I've had a hard week and you know how much I love chocolate. Thank you for always editing my papers and helping me with my writing so I can get a better grade. Thank you for texting me before every big test to wish me luck and asking me how it went after. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder and being my protector. Thank you for making my room perfect when I come home so that I never want to leave. Thank you for loving me no matter what.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for all the things you do that I don't thank you enough. Thank you for being you.

With a lot of love and gratitude,

Your Thankful Daughter

AI music threatens creativity

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.
