To My Friends As The School Year Ends

This is the thank you that I may forget to say in the next few weeks

To My Friends As The School Year Ends

To my school people,

We are coming down to our last two months together before we go home for the summer. I know that summer will go by quickly but with all of the work from our classes and clubs piling up on us now, it can be easy for us to forget to appreciate the time left in year that we have together. We are all at the point where we are tired of the school year and maybe some of us have been feeling that way for a while but I want to take a moment to say how much I really appreciate you because in busy times like this, the appreciation that is normally shown becomes less apparent and our stress starts to take over. So I am saying this now before my work becomes my life and I spend more time in the library than hanging out in your room.

Thank you for the little things like making breakfast, lunch and dinner plans (even though it's only in the dining hall.) Thank you for always being down to go for walks at night even if they are silent and we end up lost. Thank you for laughing at my jokes even when you do not really find them funny. Thank you watching The Office and New Girl with me when we really should be doing homework. Thank you for having dance parties instead of going to the library. And thank you for the big things. Thank you for reminding me of the person I am, especially when I seem to forget. Thank you for worrying about my problems when you have your own. Thank you for taking care of me in moments where I need help. Thank you for not judging me on any of the stupid things I say.

We are heading into the busiest weeks of the semester and I just wanted to say this all now before we all become consumed in our work and it slips our minds. Thank you for the small things that you don't even think of and thank you for the things that I cannot repay you for. It sounds cheesy, but thank you for being my friend unconditionally.

Love you always,

Your thankful friend

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.
