HEY BESTIES,

Let me first start off this letter saying thank you for everything. I’m blessed beyond belief to have you in my life. Through the shit show that has been our lives, I’m so glad that we all stuck together.

From ugly middle school bathroom mirror selfies to senior prom pictures. . . The looks have definitely changed for the better, but I’m so glad that our group didn’t. From meeting each other in the school bathroom when we were having mini breakdowns, to going to frat parties. We were all there for each other, through the highs and the lows. Regardless of what was going on, we would drop anything for each other, and I think that is what is so special to me. Knowing that I had my friends to rely on when I was weak, got me through so many situations. I knew that I could call any of you at any moment and you would come help me.

Thanks for not giving up on me when I’d stray away. Thanks for making me get out of the house and making sure I had fun. Thank you for just letting me cry on you shoulder countless times. Thanks for the vacations that went down in history. Thanks for taking me on adventures and pushing me out of my comfort zone.

Thank you for telling me your honest opinions no matter how bad the truth hurt. Thank you for being my friend when I wasn’t the best friend I could have been. Thank you for meeting for lunch just to catch up and vent to each other about life. Thank you for helping me dig myself out of bad decisions. Thank you for always making sure that I get home safe after I leave your house. Thank you for those random ‘I miss you’ texts.stray away.

There are a million and ten things that I could thank you for. . . but overall, thank you for being you. I know that no matter where we go in life I will still have you guys! I hope things never change and when we get old and gray we can look back on these times and laugh at how crazy we were. I love you!!


From your grateful friend,

Em

xoxo

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.
