A Thank-You Note To The College Roommates Who Have My Back
Caitlyn Tumino

Dear Roommates,

When I sat down and tried to figure out how to write something that summarized just how thankful I am for all of you, I realized that it was completely impossible. There’s so many hundreds of thousands of reasons why I am so thankful to have you all in my life, so I composed a letter of just a few of them.

Thank you for encouraging most of my online shopping purchases and for reminding me when I’m probably running out of money. Thank you for hyping me up when we’re all getting ready to go out. Thank you for dealing with my weird habits like never sleeping and constantly scream-singing my feelings.

Thank you for listening to me freak out about anything and everything that Taylor Swift does. Thank you for dealing my obsession with “FRIENDS” and the fact that I want to decorate our apartment like Monica’s. Thank you for letting me be a neat freak to the point where it gets annoying.

Thank you for not judging me too much when I say that I haven’t seen whatever movie you’re discussing. Thank you for all the low-key lazy weekends. Thank you for all the great weekends, too. Thank you for the countless inside jokes, endless singing and unnecessary ordering of McDonald’s from UberEats.

Thank you for being my biggest cheerleaders and my personal therapists. Thank you for making sure that I don’t procrastinate too much on my assignments or sleep through my 9:30s. Thank you for being there to listen to my good news as well as my bad. Thank you for calming me down when I feel like I’m just going to fail out.

Thank you for building me up when I feel torn down. Thank you for reminding me that I deserve a lot better than I was given previously. Thank you for endlessly defending me. Thank you for always offering to get into a fight for me because we all know that I don’t do conflict.

Thank you for dealing with my panic attacks and my strong feelings on most things.

Thank you for changing my college experience for the better. Thank you for being my best friends.

Thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

Me

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.
