To My Common Room Girls,

Thank you. Without you, I am not sure how I ever would have survived freshman year. Thank you for the endless laughs and naps that always lasted too long. Thank you for making trillers, accidentally breaking chairs, binging movies, escaping the bubble, and making daily C-Store runs with me. But don't worry Mom & Dad, we studied too :) There is no one else I would ever want to get noise complaints with, or just about die on the swing with. Each and every one of you are so incredibly special, and make my life so much better. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we all started spending time in the common room because we are meant to be lifelong friends (ps can't wait for your weddings!!). The common room truly became our place. We have spent too many hours to count out there, but it is the place where we all came together; to laugh, to rant, to procrastinate, but more than anything to feel whole. When life gets busy, and I don't get to come over one day, I feel as though I am missing something; a part of me. You bring endless smiles and joy into my life, and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for going to chapel with me, for suffering through the cafe with me, and for always keeping me up to date with the ~wom com drama~. From surprises in Charlotte, to Plato's closet trips, dunks runs, and all of the other spontaneous adventures, I loved every second. Even when we lost power, we danced in the rain during the hurricane, and made the most out of every second. Without y'all life would be boring.

From walks to class to late night drives and everything in between, I will never ever forget the memories we made together. I don't quite know how we are supposed to go a summer without each other.... so it's time we start booking flights and planning road trips! If they fix the common room door to lock again, and we can't get in to wom com next year, we will just have to figure it out, and find a new place, because the common room is wherever you are <3

Love you all endlessly, thank you for an unforgettable freshman year.

Much Love,

Hannah Rose

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.
