To the friend that I basically cut out of my life: I'm sorry. I'm sorry that life happened and that it took us in different directions. I'm sorry that I didn't keep up with you better. I'm sorry that I made it seem like I was choosing others over you. Believe me, I didn't mean for it to come off that way and I didn't mean to let this happen. I'm sorry that I'm taking 15 credit hours in school and hardly have time for the few people I do talk to. I'm sorry that I haven't made an effort to make you one of them in a long time.

I'm sorry that life got so hectic that it made me resort to this. Writing an article online as an apology because I feel so bad that I don't know how I could ever say all of this to your face, or even in a text message directly to you. I feel bad that I haven't talked to you in forever because we used to be so very close. We were best friends and we always thought it was going to be us against the world. I don't want to lose you and I am prepared to fight for your friendship if I have to. I'm hoping it's not too late.

We thought we could do anything. High school was such a hectic mess for us and I don't know how we pulled through all that mess but we did. I don't know what I would do if I lost you over a mess like this. I know it's mostly my mess and that's why I'm working to fix it but you've gotta meet me halfway.. or at least I hope you will. I hope like hell that it's not so bad that it can't be fixed.

From me, your friend, hopefully forever and always.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
