To The Friends I've Made Senior Year

Although the semester has just started I feel like every second we have is closer to saying goodbye.

To The Friends I've Made Senior Year

Dear Friends,

Although the semester has just started I feel like every second we have is closer to saying goodbye.

As pessimistic as that sounds, I want you to know that I don't regret meeting you, but it hurts to know that we only have a limited time left together.

Our paths have crossed as we are deciding what direction we are going to take as we enter the rest of our lives. I am going to be here for you, whether it be applying to graduate schools, finding an internship, going right into a job or even committing to a relationship. I want to make sure we do more than keep in touch through social media. You are the ones I want to stay close with after college. To the friends I've made who aren't graduating this year, I want you to know, no matter how busy I get, I will make time for you. We don't have years and years of friendship or memories under our belt, but we will have these important moments. I will cherish every remaining day, week and month we have together.

I wish we did have more time together, and that we could have met sooner, but I don't think we would have been as close as we are now. I am a different person than I was my freshman year of college and you were probably a different person before we met. We were meant to meet each other at this point in our lives. Super cliché but, I truly believe, everything happens for a reason. You know me better than anyone else in my past will ever know, because you know the person I have become and will become. Thank you for accepting me for who I am and supporting me through every good and bad decision I make.

So cheers to us, college seniors on the brink of graduation. Cheers to the college debt about to hit us in the face. Cheers to blurry memories made and forgotten. Cheers to the mental breakdowns bound to happen, more than once. Cheers to as many trips to Atlantic City and the bars as possible. Cheers to friendship and love. Cheers to the future and the unknown.

This is our senior year and now we have each other to make those final, unforgettable memories.

" So lets enjoy life today. Yesterday is gone & tomorrow may never come."

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.
