A Letter To The Roommate Who Is Still My Best Friend

Dear Roommate/BFF,

First off, I want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry for leaving my clothes all over the room. We both know how much much I despise laundry, and I’m more than happy to accept my title as the messy roommate. I’m sorry I’m so weird about my stuff. I really mean it when I say it’s me not you. It has to do with my sister eating my food and taking my stuff not you, I swear. I’m sorry about how much I watch Netflix. I’ll be the first to admit I have an addiction. I know all the blood in Grey’s and Dexter is not your thing, but you sit through it because you love me. I’m sorry that sometimes I’m a bad friend. I know I talk too much, and I interrupt people all the time and I’m not the best listener, but you love me anyway. Also I spoil, TV shows. I’m really sorry about that I swear, I just can’t help it. I’m innately evil.

Next I want to say thank you. Thank you for letting me borrow your clothes when I have nothing to wear. I know I do to way too much (especially your denim shirt since mine shrunk in the dryer). Speaking of the dryer, you’re more than willing to put my clothes in when I forget to before going to class. Thank you for updating me on what I missed on the bachelor when I have to go to chapter. Seriously I would be so behind without you. Thanks for sitting with me and trying to figure out what the heck is going on with this presidential election, and for letting me I’m not the only one who’s confused.

Thank you for comforting me when I’m upset. You’re the only family I have here, and I’m forever grateful that I do. Thank you for staying up late with me when we both have to study, or we’re just to wound up to go to sleep. Thank you for being my person, the person I can rant to when I just can’t take it anymore. Thank you for letting me use your cow mug because I know it’s your favorite. Thank you for letting me go out with you and your friends when all mine are being lame. Thanks for laughing at my bad dancing with me, and not making fun of me for it. Thanks for sharing the cookies your mom sends you with me, I really love you for that. Lastly I want to thank you for your Pinterest boards. They are amazing.

Next year is going to be so weird not coming home to you sitting on the futon, and me coming in saying, “guess what happened today.” Because for the first time in 13 years you’re I’m not going to see you everyday. Before we went to college people always told me that I’m going to make new best friends in my classes and my sorority. And sure I have, but they’re just best friends, you’re my BFF.

LYLAS,

Your BFF and Roommate

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.
