I LOVE YOU BOTH

A Thank You To My Nana And Poppa

Besides my parents, I look up to my grandparents so much.

They talk about how they find it so crazy that my sister and I have grown so much, but what I never fail to think about is their love for each other that has grown for over 50 years of marriage. That's a long time for love, and when I think about my future, if it's one relationship that I admire, it is that one. The way they look at each other and laugh together is something that can make your heart melt.

My Nana is the super star grandma, the one with the super cool Bitmojis, the loudest laughs and always looking super fashionable. She is the one to spark a conversation with anyone. When I think of my relationship with my Nana, I think of our summer nights on the porch where we would talk about anything and everything together. She is always there for me when I need to chat and she's the best Nana a girl in college could ask for. I don't thank her enough for all that she has done for me in the past and the things she continues to do for me. This is a thank you to her and my fabulous Poppa.

I love going to Florida every year to visit them but it's even greater when they fly home every summer for six months out of the year. It feels like home when they are here and I know summer officially has begun when they arrive. I know I am not always around too much in the summer, and I might take a while to answer your texts, nana, if I am having a busy day, but I do truly love and appreciate you.

Poppa, you are just as wonderful and whenever someone mentions the word "golf," I immediately think of how much you truly enjoy the game you will never stop playing. I know "it never rains on the golf course."

I LOVE being able to run upstairs to chat with the both of you but I miss you when you're in Florida so many miles away, like you are now. Although, I enjoy every second of my spring vacations down there with you both. There's no one else I would rather spend spring break with. I am happy you both are healthy and happy.

I think of you guys everyday.

I love you both very much!

XOXO Lauren

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.
