To My Best Friend At A Different College

To My Best Friend At A Different College
Emanuela Scollo

To my best friend at a different college,

I can't think of a milestone in our lives that we didn't spend together. From our first day of high school, to our last day of high school, and everything in between I could always count on you to be my familiar face in the crowd. Now we are hundreds of miles away from each other, and there isn't a day that I don't think about you.

It's hard making new memories without you, and it's harder to think about you making new memories without me. Of course, I am happy you are making friends and figuring out where you belong, but not being with you during this important time in our lives just doesn't feel right.

I talk about you all the time. It's hard not to bring up that time we won tickets to see our favorite band when my roommates and I are listening to music. Your name comes up in conversation on a daily basis, and I never run out of stories to tell.

I am so proud of everything you are doing. I love hearing about you pursuing your dreams, joining clubs you are interested in, and trying out for teams. It makes me happy to hear you happy.

You will always be my best friend. No distance can change the way you make me laugh, the unconditional support you provide me with, and the way you make me feel like I belong. While the next four years are going to be filled with long text messages and phone calls, I'll be looking forward to any amount of time we can spend together.

From,

Your best friend at a different college

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
