To My Best Friend

Dear Mom,

Thanks for being....well my mom.

Thanks for being there for me when I'm sad, happy, and even hangry. Thank you for being my rock in times of struggle and for being the person to help me back up when I hit rock bottom. thank you for being a great role model and setting a great example for what an extravagant woman can do.

I watched you go back to school and push yourself past your limits. I waited with you on those nights you thought you failed exams only to find out that you got a 4.0. I have watched you bust your ass inside and outside of work and act like it was nothing.

You are one of the most humble people I know. If I were to have met you in a different life I would have never guessed you live the way you do. You do things for people without expecting anything in return, sometimes too much, and I hate watching you get hurt.

You have made me realize that hard work pays off, and that sometimes I just need to bite the bullet.

You have made me realize that all the nights that I stay up studying and working will pay off one day. You have helped me make sense of all this chaos that life has thrown at me. You have made me realize that I am smarter than I pin myself to be and that I am capable of amazing things, just like you.

Mom, you are the reason I keep going.

I love our inside jokes and the way we can hang out like friends. I love that I can call you at any time of the day and you will answer. I love how goofy you are when it's just me and you chilling at home- like that day we watched 3 seasons of America's Next Top Model. I love that you always have my back when others don't, and know that I always have yours.

You deserve nothing but the best, whether it be in your career, education, or social life and I know you are capable of getting there.

Happy Birthday Lavey

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.
