To My Best Friends Back Home

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

To My Best Friends Back Home
Kaysee Faecher

No one can prepare you for the moment when it’s time for you and your friends to leave each other. The time spent with each other created a bond that can never be broken. Whether it’s having a chill night in watching every single episode of our favorite show together or getting dressed up for a night out on the town. The moment I left to go live three hours away from the people who make me smile each and every day, was much more difficult than I had ever anticipated.

To my best friends back home,

Leaving you all was something I could have never prepared myself for. I never imagined it was possible to miss a group of people I have known for four years so much. The number of memories created in this rollercoaster we call life will be ones that will never be forgotten.

We don’t really need much to be entertained. Just a full tank of gas and someone who has Spotify premium pumping out our favorite tunes.

I miss going all the way to PF Changs in sweatpants just to get take out, laughing at one of our many inside jokes no one else would understand, and taking “candid” pictures at parties. These are memories that make up our friendship. We have been through a lot and I honestly thought that I wouldn’t be able to survive without being 10 minutes away from each and every one of you. But, after my first year as a college freshman, my first year away from all of you, I can honestly say our friendship has only grown stronger.

I now have people to face time when I am feeling down or just need someone to talk to when walking to get Chipotle. I now receive never-ending text messages of events that went on during a night out that make me feel as if I was there too. And of course, my favorite, reunion hugs are the absolute best kind of hugs. Contrary to what I believed at the beginning of the year, nothing has changed.

Although I live 130 miles from you and have made memories with other people, you all will always be in the back of my mind, reminding me to be myself. Our journey together hasn’t ended, it has just started.

Sincerely,

A long distance friend

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.
