Having a long distance best friend is hard. Not seeing your each other at school every day or grabbing brunch on the weekends is difficult. Staying up to date with your best friend's life is a full-time job. Face time, phone calls, and text messages can only go so far. It takes time, effort, and a whole lot of love. Among all the hardships of having a long distance best friend, there are certinly some pros.

1. You always have an unbiased opinion.

Since you and your best friend don't live near each other, you always have someone to call to get a quick unbiased opinion from. Since they aren't involved with the people near to you, you can always count on them to tell it like it is one hundred percent of the time. Need to vent about something that happen at school, they are the best listeners. Open ears and an unbiased opinion are only a phone call away.

2. FaceTime dates are the best.

Since you can't see each other everyday, face time dates are a big deal... and I mean a BIG DEAL. Minutes turn into hours, and before you know it you are both instantly caught up on each others lives. Plus seeing their face really helps to feel conected while you're hundreds of miles away.

3. You always have something to look forward to.

Whatever you're going through, you always have something to look forward to. The next time you visit your best friend is always right around the corner. Whether is next year or next week, the thought of seeing your best friend makes everything better. Some breaks are longer than others, but once the time apart passes, the time together is well worth it.

4. It's a holiday when they visit.

The whole world stops when the come to visit. It's declared a national holiday in you're book. Shopping, coffee dates, and showing them all the new spots. No expense is spaired when you're best friend comes to visit.

5. The distance makes you stronger.

Having a long distance best friend is hard, but so worth it. The distance makes you stronger, and you grow even closer. You cherish the time you have together more, and you never take a phone call for granted. If you can make it through being best friend while apart, you know you will be best friends forever.

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.

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.
