To My Best Friend Who Goes To A Different College

No matter how far apart we are, you're still my ride or die.

To My Best Friend Who Goes To A Different College

We learned to live without each other, and that was the hardest part.

Do you remember the moment we found out I was moving and we wouldn't be able to do all the things we had planned: the houses on the beach next to each other, having kids at the same time, going on all these road trips, going to the same college and our boyfriends being best friends? We accepted that these things wouldn't happen to us, and we prepared for the long distance.

I know you see my Facebook, Instagram and weekend Snapchats. I'm out with people you have never met and places you have never been. We are both off doing our own things, making our own memories.

But as we continue this long distance friendship just know:

You Are My Number One

Having a long-distance best friend sometimes feels worse than having a long-distance boyfriend. (Who am I supposed to cry with after watching "Gossip Girl" for the 10th time?) Out of all the people that come and go out of my life, you will always be the most special to me. You have been with me since middle school, and I can't live without you in my life. You will always be the first person I text or call when I need help like, "What shoes match this outfit?" "Do you like this necklace?" "Why is this person being so annoying?" or "What am I going to do in life?". All these questions you have answered for me over and over again, even though you're nine hours away, and I can't thank you enough.

I'm Always There

No matter who I meet or where I go, I will always love you, and you will always be my best friend. You are my "ride or die" till the end. I will choose our Skype dates over hanging out with my new friends any day. I am always a call or text away, so when you start to miss me, just know I'm not far. I will always be there to calm you down over the phone when you're upset or need someone to vent to.

I'm Not Giving Up

Best friends go through obstacles, but I am not losing my soul sister. I will do whatever it takes to keep you. The short periods of time we see each other are just more special. Hopefully, we will one day be back together and be able to do everything we had planned. If not, we will keep pushing through. I will still come visit and walk into your house without knocking; nothing will change. You are my best friend for life.

No matter what, I love you.

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.
