To my favorite shoulder to lean on
Caitlin Lawler

Dear Mother,

For starters I would like to say Thank You, I feel I never tell you how much I truly appreciate everything that you have done for our family. You work a full time job and still manage to keep our family semi normal!! Props to you. Even though I am a junior now and you always say "I cant wait to get rid of you, when you go back to school". I know every year you secretly miss me.

Bachelorette Monday's are not the same without you. I have to watch it by myself in my small dorm room and not on our comfy reclining couches with you saying "oh he's such a cutie" or "oh my goodness she's so stupid why would she pick him?"

One thing I can tell you though is that I am sorry for not picking up every 25 minutes you call me. Being in college I am a very busy girl. I am trying to look for a job, get good grades, get my stuff together for when I study aboard all while maintaining a social life. Mom I cant talk to you for hours about how Aunt So and So got a little too rowdy at the family party last Saturday... As much as I miss your strong long island accent I am a busy girl!! Still love you though.

Even though you think I never want to come home and see you because I love it here so much, thats not true! I cant wait to be sitting at the dinner table with a home cooked meal, and you yelling at me saying " you are always texting, you never talk to me anymore, who is that important?" Or you asking me how to send pictures, or texts cause you still didn't figure out how to use your Iphone while I was away

But in reality Mom I love you so much and love that I can always count on you to cheer me up when I am feeling down, and how you always motivate me to do my best without your help.. you are my favorite shoulder to lean on and I thank you for that

Oh! Another thing is if you want to send me some money, or some cute new clothes I would really love it ;) Send my love to Dad, Rachel and Molly

Love your favorite daughter,

Cait

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.
