To My Long Lost Best Friend

To my best friend that I found again in college.

To My Long Lost Best Friend

To my long lost best friend, I found in college,

I know they say that God works in mysterious ways and I can truly say seeing you again after 14 years was a God send. We were best friends in pre-school, we have countless pictures from our 4K pumpkin patch field trip, my cowgirl themed birthday party, and our countless dress up days at our preschool. But when “real school” started we went our separate ways. We lived on opposite sides of town and didn’t keep in touch.

Fast-forward 14 years, I’m walking into my dorm room and I see a familiar face. We made awkward eye contact took a selfie so I could send it to my mom and went up to our rooms. Who would of thought that now we would be best friends. We are together all the time, everyone on campus knows that we come as a package deal, we finish each other sentences, share clothes, study together, eat together, have sleep-overs in each other’s rooms every night…and I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that out of all the school we could have chosen to go to school that we both picked a little Christian college in the middle of Anderson County, and that out of all the places we could have lived it worked out that you lived on the floor below me.

Now as we finish our freshman year of college I wanted to thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for staying up with me all night to redo my English portfolio after my hard drive crashed, thank you for always splitting wings with me when we go to Wild Wings, thank you for always proofreading my essays, for dragging me out of bed for my 8 a.m.’s every morning. Thank you for always picking up the phone, for singing with me in the car, for obsessing over cooking shows with me, for always listening to me, and for laughing at all my jokes…even if you’ve already heard them a hundred times. I could go on forever, but most importantly thank you for being my best friend.

Some things never change and I’m glad that college brought us back together.

I love you most,

Your long lost best friend that you found in college

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.
