To My Friends Who I Don't See As Much As I'd Like

I think about you more than you'll ever know.

Hey, you!

Yeah, you.

I know we don't see each other often, but here's a few things I want you to know:

1. I think about you very often.

Actually, almost every day. I think about you, your family, how you're doing, what you're up to at this very moment, and how I know you're taking life by the horns. Life is so busy, and well, it sucks that college separated us. We can't really talk all the time because we have conflicting schedules. But just know that I'm here, thinking of you! Cheering you on from the sidelines.

2. Life is not the same without you.

Remember seeing each other every day for like six periods straight? And now we don't see each other for months. It really stinks, not going to lie. The people I've met in college are wonderful, but are just not like you. I miss the walks to classes together, the laughs, the anger we shared in classes. Especially the common hatred we shared for teachers. No more study sessions, after school coffees. Trust me, I still go through withdrawals after all this time.

3. Our memories remain safe within me.

I cannot thank you enough for the experience you gave me in high school. YOU are the REASON high school was so great. When I think back at my most memorable moments in high school, you were always in them. Even though we are almost graduating college, I haven't forgotten the great memories we made, and I don't think I ever will. Know that you remain deep in my heart.

4. When we do see each other, it's like none of that time apart mattered.

Just because we don't speak every day, because we can't, doesn't mean the time hurts what we have. We always pick up right where we left off, and it feels like home again. True friends will not be effected by life's inconveniences. True friends and epic friendships endure the worst, but still come out on top- that's why we've remained friends after all this time.

I thank you, for putting in effort into this friendship. I hope we continue to strive to have a wonderful friendship even though life may be just the busiest- too busy for us to keep in touch all the time.

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.
