To My Sister Who Didn't Get To Finish 8th Grade

I'm sure we all can go through our memories all the way to 8th grade. I remember mine so vividly because it was my first year attending public school. I had been in Christian school since I was just two because my mom worked there. Public school is very different as you can imagine. I met new friends and played new sports and went through many different experiences. I remember my first day because thats the day I met some of my greatest friends. I was so excited to go on the infamous 8th grade trip to Disney. I was excited for the 8th grade dance and even the 8th grade picnic in the park. Most importantly I was excited for the day of 8th grade graduation and to move on to high school.

I am so sorry little sis that you never got to do those things. We were getting ready for the 8th grade trip as this whole virus came about. It was cancelled. Good for us that we have awesome parents and they decided we would go anyways. You had just bought a dress for the 8th grade dance. You and your friends had decided to ask your parents to rent a limo to show up in style, I am sorry that didn't get to happen. You weren't even close to the 8th grade picnic yet but it would have been a great time for you and your friends. I am sorry that didn't get to happen.

I am also so very sorry that some of the people you held so dear to yourself in middle school will never be so close again. Like me you will go to a high school where not many of the people you were around in middle school will go. It will be sad at first but you will adjust. You will make new friends I have no doubt. Make sure to hold those old memories close to your heart though because those are the days. I hope you are thankful for what you did get to experience in middle school and are excited for what is to come in your future.

I hope you know you can always come to me with any questions or concerns you have about high school. I have been through what you are about to experience. I would love to help you with every problem you have and I will support you in any way.

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.
