To The Lady Who Left Us Too Soon
Hayley Kleinsasser

Death is something very difficult for me to understand. You go from seeing a person all the time to never seeing that person ever again. Recently, I have been thinking a lot about my grandma. The day I found out my grandma passed was one of the worst days of my life. It was right after chapter on a Sunday evening. It felt like someone had pushed me to the ground and knocked all the air out of me. My grandma and I were so close and the thought of never seeing her again was painful. This was the first death in my family that really hit me hard. Her funeral was even more painful. Tears were streaming down my face the entire time. I just knew how much my grandma was going to miss but, I know she is watching over me and all of the grandchildren but there are just some things I would want her to know.

To my grandma

Thank you for being the best role model a girl could ask for. I know how hard those last couple of months were for you but I just want you to know how admirable that was for me. Your strength has taught me to keep fighting even when I want to give up. I just want you to know that I am doing okay. College is hard, life is hard, but I want you to know that no matter what, I will fight through any pain I am feeling just because I know how hard you fought. I owe that to you. Growing up, you always made me feel so special and I bet all the grandchildren could say the same. You made me feel beautiful all the time even when I looked like a mess. You made sure to watch me walk across the stage at my high school graduation on the computer because you were too sick to go and now I know in a few years when I walk that stage again except this time graduating college, you will still be right there watching me. I kick myself in the butt everyday for not saying bye when I had the chance so for that, I am so sorry. I am so sorry I wasn’t there when I should have been and I know if you could talk to me somehow, you would assure to me that it is okay. I know you are with me everyday. I miss you so much and I can’t wait to see you again soon. I love you.

Love,

Your Granddaughter

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.
