To My Graduating Big

To my dear Big,

The day I have been dreading since you became my Big has finally arrived and I could not be more heartbroken. The thought of you leaving me for the crazy world that awaits you is both terrifying and incredibly exciting. I am extremely happy for you, very proud of you, and overwhelmingly excited for your future. You have worked tirelessly to be the student that you are, the genuine person people admire, and the big sister that I wholeheartedly love. I will miss you dearly.

I often think about how I can ever be as good of a Big to my Little as you are to me. You support me, praise me, cherish me, admire me, and look after me throughout everything. I can do no wrong in your eyes and that is why I love you so much. You inspire me to be the best person that I can be each and every day. You remind me to look for the positive in every situation. You praise me for doing my best, even when my best isn’t good enough. You laugh at my jokes, accept yet correct my wrongs, and are proud of my successes. You truly are my number one fan, and you better believe that I am yours, too.

The beautiful side to being sorority sisters is that we will always be connected. Even though you are graduating, you will always be my Big and I will always be your Little. I am thankful for the time we had together at the same school, even though it was not nearly enough. I hope you know how proud I am of you. I aspire to be like you. I hope to think like you, give like you, and be admired like you. Thank you for being my idol, my mom away from home, and my person. Thank you for taking me under your wing and treating me like your real little sister. Thank you for giving me all your love and always reminding me of my self-worth. You have my heart.

To my Big graduating: I hope you get everything you deserve and more. I hope all of your dreams come true and you have all the success in the world. Most importantly, I hope you always know how thankful I am to be your Little. Nothing will ever replace the spot I have for you in my heart.

“You’re the best, never change, only grow.”

Love,

Your Little

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.
