In This Article:

Our friendship was like the movies. We've been best friends since literally pre-k. We fell apart for a while but always found ourselves back together in the end.

We went through all of the ugly stages together and have too many pictures to prove it. Everyone knew that we were the duo not to be messed with. When people were added to our group and fallouts would happen, it would always be us in the end.

We've traveled across the globe together and have been to other places around the states. Fact is, Olivia is my best friend and she always will be.

When I got the official news that my family was going to be relocating down south the first thoughts that went through my mind was my best friend.

Knowing she wouldn't be by my side for my first day of school or be there for tailgates and shopping dates made me so upset. She wouldn't be a literal thirty-second drive away from me was something that I couldn't imagine.

It seems dramatic but I honestly didn't know how I was going to function without her. We didn't know any different than being by each-others sides.

Moving away from my best friend was easily the hardest thing about moving. But, reality is when we come back together that makes it even more exciting. When she calls or texts me I get so excited to hear about what she's been up to.

I get more excited for her to come to visit so I can show her the new life that I have created for myself here and how well I am doing. I know that she'll always be there for me to hear all of the latest drama or about the cutest guys on campus. Olivia will always be my best friend, no matter the distance.

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.
