To My Best Friends Who Go To Different Colleges

Friendship knows no distance.

To My Best Friends Who Go To Different Colleges

It’s been about a month since I’ve last seen you and let me tell you, it’s nearly impossible not to see your face every day. Even though not being with you has been torturous, it has taught me a lot about our friendship, and what I’ve learned has only made me more grateful to have you in my life.

People say that when you go to college, you often lose touch with your friends from high school. When people said that to me, I couldn’t help but laugh because I knew that couldn’t be more untrue in the case of our friendship. Over the years we have had our fair share of ups and downs, but all of them have made us only closer- we know way too much about each other to not be in each other's lives.

With all that in mind, I knew college couldn’t change a thing. If anything, it has made us even closer. We’ve yet to miss a FaceTime date, still know every little detail about each other’s lives and have been there for each other no matter what time it is. That says a lot considering we’re on different time zones, and have continued to love each other unconditionally.

As much as I wish we were together, it has been so amazing to watch you kill it at school. I could not be more proud of you for what you’ve accomplished so far, and I know you only have bigger things in store for you. You’ve managed to adjust to a completely different environment, meet some pretty cool new friends (that I can’t wait to meet when I visit), not sleep through your 8 a.m.’s, stay somewhat sane, all while still being you. If anyone deserves an incredible college experience, it is you and I could not be happier that you are happy.

But above all, I want to thank you. Thank you for standing by me through thick and thin, tagging me in funny Instagram posts when you know I’ve had a rough day, helping me choose what to wear out, being brutally honest when I need it most, but most importantly being my people despite the distance.

I love you, I miss you and I most definitely cannot wait until I see you. You were my hardest goodbyes, but I absolutely know you will be my best hellos!

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.
