To My Brothers As We Find Our Path

To my left hand men, thank you for teaching me how to make it out with or without a fight

To My Brothers As We Find Our Path
Maddison Stahmer

To my brothers as go our own way to figure out this thing called life,

It's crazy to think after a lifetime of dealing with each other daily, sharing bathrooms, crushing on each others friends back in the day, getting ready for school together, car rides, fights over the remote, along with countless other things that they will be coming to an end. Soon enough we will be graduating college, moving into our own homes, creating our own families, not sharing a bathroom...thank God. Although we are all looking forward to these milestones, I'll totally miss you crazies.

First of all, I have some stuff I should probably thank you for. You know, threatening all of those guys who broke my heart, answering my phone call when my car breaks down, ordering the pizzas I was too socially awkward to do myself, pushing my car up the driveway after getting it stuck in a huge pile of snow, and of course...picking me up after a few too many. Although, at the time I thought some of your reactions were uncalled for and annoying, looking back, I couldn't have made it through this life without you.

Thank you for pouring freezing cold water in my showers, eating all of my leftovers, stealing the last roll of toilet paper, leaving your dirty clothes on the bathroom floor, not spraying after you stink up the bathroom...still hasn't changed, and beating me up for the front seat even though I totally called shotgun.

I did in fact think I hated you on many occasions. If I was just a couple inches taller, few pounds heavier and slightly more muscular, I would've tried beating you guys up like you did to me. I used to hate being the sister to the coolest brothers because I was the lame one. Yet, you guys made me grounded. You taught me about football, basketball, how to play on Nintendo64, PS3, and "Grand Theft Auto", and you didn't make it easy to win anything by any means.

So, along this journey, never forget that I am proud to be your sister. I have cherished each moment together and I will miss the times we were all under one roof...eventually. Last but not least, I love you guys and I look forward to seeing how we will move apart yet grow together.

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.
