To My Work Best Friend
Emily Gauss

Work Best Friend,

First, I want to thank you for making my nervous self become so comfortable at my new job. This was a year ago, but I'll never forget it. I always looked forward to working with you even when we didn't really know each other. You would always make conversation with me and made me laugh every time you opened your mouth. I even got to enjoy your singing abilities, even if you complained that it wasn't Beyoncé playing.

You're a beautiful person inside and out. I like to think there is a reason for everything and I don't know what the reason I got to have you in my life is, but thank God for it. I hate going to work knowing it's not you at the register next to me, especially if it's you know who. I hate that I had to transfer 1,000 miles away from you for 3 months. I will ever make another work friend, like you. You're one in a million.

I'm even more thankful that this work friendship has bloomed into an actual friendship. I never anticipated finding one of my best friends at a retail job. I figured, I would make work friends and it would stay at work. Lucky for me, I get to see you outside of work ALLL the time. I think people get sick of us together, tbh. But, that's okay because I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll even consider moving to Denver for you, just so our future children can be bffs like we are.

I can't thank you enough for your friendship in and outside of work. Honestly, if people didn't know us they would probably think we were dating (hahaha). Thank you for always understanding me and letting me express my distaste for Beyoncé and loving me anyway. You're one of the greatest humans I know and you're incredibly nice to everyone (something I'll never be able to do so we even out). Thank you for spending all of your free time with me (literally) and finally letting me see your BEAUTIFUL house (can't wait to move in).

You've made #LifeAtKohls the best life. Most importantly, thanks for becoming my work best friend and transforming into a real life best friend. I don't know what I would do without you every weekend. "Thanks buddy."

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.
