To My Mom As I Leave For My Last Semester Of College
Emily Gauss

You've been there for kindergarten graduation, high school graduation, and soon college graduation. You're the only one who has never faulted in always being there for me. You never missed a large event in my 21 years of life. I can't wait to make you proud with the rest of my life and be able to support you like you have me for so many years.

I have officially started my very last semester of college, graduating a semester early (thank you campbell and ccc). The past 3 1/2 years away from the only constant person in my life has opened my eyes dramatically. Sure, we still argue; we're mother and daughter, it happens. But, in the end I know you will always be there for me.

Thank you for being there through all the heart breaks in middle school, high school, and even college. Thank you for not saying "I told you so" when you were right about the boys who caused said heart breaks. Thank you for always being just a phone call away when you weren't just a hallway away. Thank you for always listening to me. Thank you for always trying to give me advice, even if I didn't want to hear it. Thank you for taking me on endless shopping trips when I thought I didn't have enough clothes (even though I always did). Thank you for being the very best mom you could be. Thanks to you and your support, I will be able to move on in my life whether it be grad school or entering the real world.

As I start my last semester, I realize just how luck I am to have you as my mom. Not everyone has a mother or a good relationship with their mom. I was lucky enough to have a mom and have a best friend wrapped into one. I certainly wouldn't have been able to get through the last 3 years away from you without you to always talk to.

I want you to know how wonderful of a job you did all on your own. You're incredible inside and out. Even on your worst days, you're still the absolute best. Thanks for being you mom. I can't imagine my life without you. I love you to the moon and back times 10.

I love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my mother you'll be.

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.
