To The Parents I Want To Make Proud

Mom, Dad, Thank you. Thank you can't explain how lucky I am to have you two in my life. Working your butts off so that I can go to a college of my choice.

Every day I think about the sacrifices that you two have made for me and how lucky I am to be in the position that I'm in. Disappointing you is the last thing that I want to do, and if I do just know that I'm sorry and I'll learn from my mistakes.

I know that you're always there for me no matter the situation. I know you feel like you harp on me sometimes, but it's ok, I need that. You mold the person that I am today, and I'm content with the decisions I've made and the person who I have come to be.

Mom, your radiant energy, and positivity not only through me but anybody that you enter in contact with is incredible. My friends never say anything bad about you, because you're perfect. You are the most patient person I know, you find the positive in everything, and you work hard with no complaints, I hope to be like you someday.

Dad, your faith, and your leadership is something that is contagious. The way you look at things has taught me not to wait on others, but to go for what I want.

Together, you have taught me the most valuable lessons that not schooling or teaching could have taught me, and no amount of money can be paid to you for the lessons that you taught me. A thank you is all I can give, and that I will try my hardest not only to make you two proud but to make myself proud as well. I love you guys.

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.
